2010 Olympics, going for the green

Most of us have been keeping up with the gold, the silver and the bronze medals of the Olympics. Well now the Olympics has gone green as well and cke interior design believes that this color is worth more than gold…or platinum depending on your fancy. Vancouver’s 2010 athlete village is the second neighborhood to receive LEED platinum status, and it is well deserved. The designers for the village were smart enough to cycle rainwater to the toilets. They are even heating the village with sewage! Very impressive that they found a use for that! Solar power provides  energy and solar water heaters heat showers. For more information, go to the challenge series.
