Most people in Perth are aware that Fremantle was selected to host the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships. This is exciting news for Perth, with it set to be the biggest sailing event to hit our shores since the 1987 America’s Cup Defence.
Just as exciting for Greensense, is that fact that we will be involved in helping to make this event as environmentally responsible as possible through a partnership announced this month (read the press release here). We will be assisting with the development and monitoring of their Environmental and Sustainability Programme and will report on various aspects of the event such as energy use, waste management and recycling and carbon emissions.
With over 18 months still to go before the event, it’s great to see that the event organisers have recognised the value of the environment to the community early in the planning process to enable robust plans to be put in place and meaningful relationships to be developed, ensuring the best possible outcomes between now and December 2011.
Here’s to sustainable sport and a sustainable world championships in Perth!
