BOCOG regards "for the sake of the earth and mankind, work together to create a better future" as the concept of sustainable development. Under the principle of "Let's work together to do better for the earth and mankind", the Olympic Organizing Committee used a lot of renewable energy and recyclable raw materials in the process of preparing for the Olympic Games, which may be the most environmentally friendly and green Olympic Games in history.
In fact, in addition to cardboard beds, there are more amazing medals and podium, which can also be made of waste! In the Olympic Village, hydrogen-powered cars have been put into use, and the hydrogen-powered community has begun to take shape. To what extent can Japan exaggerate in order to implement the concept of environmental protection?
Please watch this issue of Phoenix Vision's Evening-Observation of Tokyo Olympics under the Epidemic Situation!
Play new tricks with hydrogen energy
In the environmental protection strategy of Tokyo Olympic Games, hydrogen plays a very important role and is an important carrier of low-carbon energy reform. In the field of hydrogen energy utilization, Japan has world-leading technology, and this Tokyo Olympic Games has become a "hydrogen energy show" for Japan to show the international community the technological achievements of energy development!
The Tokyo Olympic Village is also equipped with self-driving cars with hydrogen energy. According to the staff, the hydrogen bus runs every 5 minutes during the peak period, with the longest interval of 20 minutes. These buses can run automatically 24 hours a day.
"Sustainability is one of the main pillars of the Tokyo Olympic Games," said Hiroshi Takedao, director of the Innovation Promotion Office of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. Our goal is not to emit carbon dioxide, so we will use hydrogen produced in Langjiang Town of Fukushima to drive hydrogen-powered vehicles. I think this is one of the measures of sustainable development. "
In fact, the Olympic Village where these buses pass also uses hydrogen energy equipment.
Yuji Arada, director of the sustainable development department of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, said: "We also use hydrogen energy to generate electricity in the Olympic Village and provide hydrogen energy for some accommodation buildings." After the Olympic Games, the Olympic Village will become an ordinary residence, which we can use then. Hydrogen power generation has been embedded in the pipeline. For the future development of the city, through this Olympic Games, it will begin to operate systematically, which I think is one of the characteristics of the Olympic Games. "
The hydrogen energy in the Olympic Village comes from the factory in Fukushima, Japan, which is the largest hydrogen energy manufacturing factory in the world. After the Olympic Games, the Olympic Village will be transformed into the largest hydrogen-powered community in the world. The 4 100 apartment will also be equipped with hydrogen fuel cells. This will be the first community in Japan to fully use hydrogen stations, hydrogen pipelines and hydrogen fuel cells.
"Scrap" podium and "Scrap" medal
BOCOG announced that Japan will adopt 100% renewable energy and zero carbon emissions. In order to achieve this goal, the Olympic Organizing Committee mobilized the Japanese people to help the environment.
For the platform, we collected detergent bottles and discarded bottles from the public, collected them from the public with the help of Procter & Gamble, and melted them to make the platform. I believe that helping our children will be very happy. "
The Olympic Organizing Committee tried to call on the public to collect waste plastic products. /kloc-more than 0/00 podium, * * * needs 45,000 kilograms,1.5,000 pieces of plastic articles. According to the calculation that each recycled plastic product can reduce carbon dioxide emission by 75g, the energy saved will be enough to provide a family with lighting for 1 12 years.
In addition to the podium, this year's medals also carry out the spirit of environmental protection. The raw materials for making medals are taken from "urban mines", that is, waste electronic equipment collected. BOCOG recycles old mobile phones and used electrical appliances from all Japanese people, and refines and recycles metals. This environmental protection project involves 30.3 kilograms of gold, 465,438+000 kilograms of silver and 2,700 kilograms of copper. Generally speaking, the medal weight is around 150 to 200 grams, but the medal weight of Tokyo Olympic Games will exceed 500 grams.
Arada Yuji said: "It is precisely because of the strength of every citizen that the reuse and recycling of the earth will be closely linked with the future earth, so we can achieve this goal more than 100, and I will give you 120."
"Magic Power" of Cardboard
President Gorkon, the head of the cardboard bed sponsorship enterprise, loves the Olympic Games very much. In 2008, he also went to the scene to watch the Beijing Olympic Games, when his career was just beginning. After the Beijing Olympic Games, Honshu, Gorkon also laid the groundwork for the China national team in Rio Olympic Games 20 16. Now the Tokyo Olympics has been postponed for one year, and the bedding he sponsored has been piled up in the warehouse.
President Gorkon said: "For Olympic athletes, if the next day is the final in the schedule, sleeping on the eve of the decisive battle will become the most important thing in their lives. It is the happiest thing for people all over the world to use our bedding. In today's situation, players may be restricted from going out, but at least they can ensure a good sleeping environment. I think we should prepare the best things in all the Olympic Games. "
The cardboard bed equipped in the Olympic Village is made up of more than 50 pieces of corrugated cardboard, which does not use any screws and glue, but has strong bearing capacity. After the Olympic Village is used, these cardboard beds can be recycled.
Not only cardboard beds, but also discarded paper cups and trays in the Olympic village will be recycled and made into toilet paper.
At the recycling factory in Fuji City, li miao saw the production process of recycled products. The scraps of paper transported from the player's village must first go through the process of removing impurities and ink, and then the finished toilet paper is processed by the machine. The sewage produced in the paper-making process will also be treated and discharged into urban rivers after reaching environmental protection standards.
"Our goal is to reuse or recycle 99% of the purchased or borrowed items," said Yuji Arada, director of the sustainable development department of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. Of course, things like containers should be recycled as much as possible, so paper containers will be recycled after being used for meals and used as paper again. In addition, the garbage generated during the sports meeting, such as finished beverage bottles and leftover food, will also be recycled, and our goal for this is 65%. "
Japan's regulations on garbage sorting are very strict, and the Tokyo Olympic Games has intensified efforts to promote the spirit of environmental protection. The environmental protection concept of this Olympic Games has been blessed by new energy. The utilization of hydrogen energy has labeled this Olympic Games as "100% renewable energy", and the mature waste treatment and recycling system will also run at full speed to help the Olympic Games.
From July 19 to 8: 00 pm on the 23rd, Phoenix Vision, a Chinese channel of Phoenix Satellite TV, revealed the secrets of environmental protection for the Tokyo Olympic Games. Did the Tokyo Olympics do well enough for the sake of the earth and mankind?
