A new Green Goal 2010 program has been launched in South Africa to make sure that next year’s World Cup event is as environmentally-friendly as possible.
Representatives of the host cities signed the pledge,which states that they will support initiatives which address waste minimisation,emission reduction,energy efficiency and water conservation.
The “greening”initiatives will be implemented in all the 10 host cities’stadiums,including Soccer City and Coca-Cola Park in and Green Point in Cape Town.
Rejoice Mabudafhasi,deputy minister of environmental affairs,said that it is important to use the 2010 FIFA World Cup platform to encourage people to go greener.
Take action

These initiatives will have a long-term benefit,rather than simply lasting for the duration of the World Cup.
