App called Green Passport is designed to encourage sustainable actions at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.
The Rio-2016 is betting on the use of the Green Passport Application Committee - which aims to encourage sustainable actions in the Olympics.
The Green Passport is an initiative of the program belonging to the United Nations in favor of the environment to promote sustainable and conscious tourism.
The official presentation took place recently in the Consumer Awareness Day. The application is completely free for mobile platforms and investment in sustainable actions of locals and foreigners who visit the country during the event.
Remember, the app has already been used during the World Cup and has since been updated and upgraded for the Olympics. The application is deeper and more useful, between the app features, is the suggestion of tourist routes and sites that act of green form and exemplification of ways and sustainable behavior. An example of suggestion is the removal of mobile chargers from outlets after the devices achieve a full charge. The tip has the explanation that there is a spending 5 times more energy when shippers are still connected to the outlet and demonstrates how simple actions can change the world.
The site www.passaporteverde.org.br contains the same app content and there are also exclusive space for companies interested in participating in the Green Passport project.
Another initiative for sustainability is the realization of the event planting trees by Brazilian athletes of all types who receive medals at the Olympics for their performances. The organization is being developed by Samyra Crespo, current president of the Botanical Garden and aims, as well as preserving the environment, demonstrate that it is necessary to replace what we take.
According to the president of the Rio 2016 Committee, Carlos Arthur Nuzman, the partnership with a United Nations body is synonymous with great pride, because the aim is not just to bring tourists to the event, is to make them take this habit for all life. Sustainability can not be seen as something sporadic, you must live it every day.
