[From no2010.com] 100 people gathered outside Canada Place in downtown Vancouver on March 30 to protest the World Sport and Environment Conference. Co-hosted by the International Olympic Committee and the Vancouver Organizing Committee (Vanoc), the conference is used to promote the illusion that the Olympics are all about social and environmental sustainability. Despite heavy rain, the protesters effectively communicated their message that the conference, and the IOC’s claims, are no more than a ‘greenwash’ of widespread ecological destruction.
