2020 Olympics Sustainability
This is probably old news. I just picked-up on it.......
At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, elite athletes will sleep on beds made of cardboard. Olympic medals are being constructed out of recycled electronics, such as cell phones. And Nike will be dressing its athletes in uniforms and sneakers made out of recycled polyester and ground-up shoe parts.
Medals made from recycled electronics. That sounds cool. Here's an early look:
But the sustainability push goes beyond the Tokyo Olympics........
In tandem with the Olympics, Nike is launching a “Move to Zero” collection for consumers, where all of the items use almost entirely recycled content, such as recycled polyester, or organic cotton that uses less water and fewer chemicals to manufacture.
The lineup will include a Windrunner jacket similar to the one Team USA will wear on the medal stand, joggers, shorts, crew-neck tees and full-zip hoodies.
Here's a look at some of the uniforms mentioned above:

Friday, July 24. That's when the next installment of Summer Games arrive. Sounds like Tokyo has got pretty much everything on-track.
Right now, Coronavirus is the wild card.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
