Suggested host intro:
The 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway was the first to be labeled as "green." According to the president of the International Olympic Committee, Jaques Rogge, that's the year the I-O-C began to implement policy changes relating to environmental stewardship. Thirteen years later, the greening of the Olympic games is in full swing. Stateside, the Olympic Trials have been slow to catch up. KLCC's Jes Burns reports that the 2008 Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon is poised to become the gold standard of sustainable event planning.
