1. Green Olympics in a broad and narrow sense:

The meaning of Green Oda can be understood in various ways, and it can refer to what people think of as ecological green in the usual sense. It can also refer to a more general "green" at a deeper level. In this way, there are green Olympics in a narrow sense and a broad sense.

Green Olympics in a narrow sense: Green Olympics in a narrow sense refers to the ability of the natural environment and ecological environment during the process of bidding for, organizing, and hosting the Olympic Games, as well as during the period after the hosting of the Olympic Games that should be directly affected by the Olympic Games. Develop in harmony with human society. The content mainly includes ecological green, environmental green, etc.

Green Olympics in a broad sense: Green Olympics in a broad sense refers to the material and ideological greenness related to the Olympic Games. The "green" here not only refers to the "green" in the Green Olympics in the narrow sense, but also refers to other thoughts and practices that are in harmony with natural and social development. The content is very extensive, including material green and conscious green.

2. The relationship between the Green Olympics, the Humanities Olympics, and the Science and Technology Olympics:

In a narrow sense, the Green Olympics, the Humanities Olympics, and the Science and Technology Olympics are independent of each other. , influence each other. The Green Olympics embodies respect for nature, the Humanistic Olympics embodies the humanity of the Olympics, and the Technological Olympics embodies modernization.

Broadly speaking, the Green Olympics, Humanistic Olympics, and Science and Technology Olympics are intertwined. Although each has a different focus, there is no obvious boundary between the two and they are closely connected. Indivisible. Green Olympics embodies the ideas of Humanities Olympics and Science and Technology Olympics. Humanity Olympics needs Green Olympics as the foundation and Science and Technology Olympics as support. Science and Technology Olympics helps realize the Humanities Olympics and Green Olympics. Therefore, when we discuss Green Olympics, we inevitably involve the categories of Humanities Olympics and Science and Technology Olympics.

Material green mainly includes the following contents:

1. Green in a narrow sense: The narrow sense of green mentioned above is a basic content of material green. It includes good natural environment and ecological environment, etc. The Olympic Charter has requirements for the natural environment and ecological environment of the city hosting the Olympic Games. Therefore, green in a narrow sense is what cities bidding for the Olympic Games must achieve, which makes it one of the basic conditions for hosting the Olympic Games. Environmental issues have always been a major problem plaguing Beijing, and many treatments address the symptoms rather than the root cause, such as the reconstruction of Xiaoqing River. Environmental improvement is not just a matter for the government, but a matter for all Beijing citizens. Governance without protection will not have long-term effects.

2. Venues and transportation: The construction of venues and transportation should be more humane. Scientific and economical, and at the same time, full consideration must be given to reuse after the Olympic Games to avoid causing economic damage to the hosting. It has caused unnecessary negative effects on people's lives; previous Olympic Games have attached great importance to the construction of venues and transportation, and there have always been some unique designs. For example, the Australian National Track and Field Stadium for the 2000 Sydney Olympics was once a beef cattle storage area for slaughterhouses. The canopy is specially designed for the Australian climate environment, so that athletes and spectators participating in daytime events can have sufficient light. It also has unique environmental protection features: the sports field is designed with natural ventilation in mind and does not use any mechanical ventilation. Specially designed reflectors maximize daylight. Reduce the need for artificial lighting. All rainwater is collected from the roof into four large water tanks for watering the field. The recycled water is used for toilet flushing. Various water-saving devices are provided throughout the sports ground. The sports field is designed to minimize the use of PVC, and all building materials have undergone life cycle testing.

Environmentally friendly natural gas generators are used as backup units for the main power supply.

In addition, there are some special facilities designed for the disabled and other special people. These all reflect the greenness of venue construction.

3. Funding: The funds for hosting the Olympic Games must also be green. Investment in the Olympic Games cannot be increased without basis. This may cause the Olympic Games to have a negative impact on many people. The 1976 Montreal Olympics and the 1980 Moscow Olympics both had a great negative impact on the city's economy and residents because the investment was too large and could not be recovered.

4. Management: Green Olympics requires its management to also be green. Governing body. The personnel composition should be strictly controlled so that the Olympic Games can be successfully held with fewer resources. The Olympic Games will bring more employment opportunities to the host place, and there will be many people participating. How to use these resources and how to coordinate people and finances. Things are all things that Olympic organizers need to take into consideration.

5. Competition items: The number of competition items in the Olympic Games is increasing year by year, reaching 300 items. Many people are skeptical about the excessive increase in Olympic events and the excessive increase in the size of the Olympic Games, believing that such unlimited expansion will make the Olympic Games more political. The weakening of ornamental value is contrary to the purpose of Mr. Coubertin's creation of the modern Olympic movement. Such a trend may destroy the Olympic movement. Moreover, due to the Olympic Games' control over the number of gold medals in individual events, many new events entering the Olympic Games have to change their original appearance and compete in a different format, which is not necessarily conducive to the development of the event itself. , may lead to the disappearance of the project's diversity.

6. Sports nutrition supplements: Sports require nutritional supplements, and sports training requires effective recovery and improvement methods, but they cannot exceed the limits of prohibited drugs and drugs stipulated by the International Olympic Committee’s Drug Control Committee. The boundaries of prohibited methods, this is where green comes in when it comes to sports nutrition supplements. Of course, material greenness goes beyond these aspects. Only when the role of various materials is fully mobilized to make the Olympic Games more in line with the requirements of the natural environment and social environment can it be called true material greenness.

3. Green consciousness

Green consciousness includes the following two main aspects:

1. Green consciousness of Olympic participants: Olympic participants, including Olympic Games organizers, referees, athletes, team members, etc. should have a good green awareness. The green consciousness of the organizer is reflected in his macro-control and micro transformation of the Olympic Games; the green consciousness of the referee is reflected in his grasp of the fairness and rationality of the game; the green consciousness of the athlete is reflected in his understanding of fair party struggle and the requirement for higher, faster and stronger; the green consciousness of the team members is reflected in the performance of their own Olympic athletes in the Olympic Games and the support and encouragement to the host country of the Olympic Games.

2. Green consciousness of residents in cities where the Olympic Games are held: People are the most active factor in productivity, and people closest to the Olympic Games are one of the most active factors affecting the holding of the Olympic Games. At the same time, the hosting of the Olympic Games The green awareness of urban residents is also extremely important. This green consciousness is reflected in the overall quality of urban residents, in their understanding of the Olympics, in their level of civilization, in their recognition of internationalization, in their material civilization and spiritual on the needs of civilized life.

3. A green understanding of the Olympic Games: The premise for the existence of the modern Olympic Games is different from that of the ancient Olympic Games. The ancient Olympic Games were based on religious beliefs. It was religious beliefs that led to the sacred truce and the ancient times. The existence of the Olympic Games for thousands of years can also be said to be due to the collapse of religious beliefs. It was only in the ancient times that the Olympic Games declined and was later banned. The launch of the modern Olympic Games was not based on religious beliefs, but it is not without any other beliefs. . Mr. Coubertin has always praised the educational value of the Olympic movement and believes that young people should obtain education in fair competition. He also attaches great importance to the amateur nature of the Olympics. The early Olympic Charter also clearly stipulated that professional athletes were not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games. Although today's amateurism rules have been broken, the fundamental reason for the longevity of the modern Olympic Games is that it provides a peaceful and fair competition place for people around the world. What still plays a role is the educational value of this pure land. . Therefore, the most important thing for a green understanding of the Olympics is to eliminate religious beliefs and have healthy beliefs in educational functions with a scientific spirit. This requires eliminating the influence of doping, the influence of vote-buying scandals, and the elimination of economic invasion of the pure land of the Olympic Games. Influence and so on.

IV. Conclusion:

The Green Olympics, the Humanistic Olympics and the Science and Technology Olympics are intertwined and inseparable; the Green Olympics can be understood in both the narrow sense and the broad sense; the broad sense of the Green Olympics includes In terms of material greenness and ideological greenness, the Green Olympics in the narrow sense belong to the material green aspect of the Green Olympics in the broad sense; considerations of material greenness and ideological greenness should be all-round.

I am participating in the Green Olympics

Dear judges, ladies and gentlemen:

Hello everyone! The title of my speech today is "I participate in the Green Olympics".

Green Olympics is one of the three major concepts of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. To this end, the Beijing Municipal Government has done a lot of work in terms of environmental governance, greening construction, ecological protection, circular economy, and water resource protection and utilization. However, it is not enough to rely solely on government actions to achieve the "Green Olympics". Middle school students in Beijing should actively participate in the construction and promotion of the "Green Olympics". Start from me, start from my family, start from the friends and classmates around me.

Today, four years later, there are 229 days of blue sky in a year, the billowing yellow dust has long disappeared, and the long-lost groups of wild ducks have also flown back to Shichahai in Beijing in the spring. The streets are also decorated with green and full of vitality. All these unconscious changes are answering me, Beijing will definitely be able to host the 2008 Olympic Games! All these changes are not only the efforts of the Beijing Municipal Government, but also the result of the efforts of countless Beijing citizens under the leadership of the government. As one of the more than 10 million ordinary Beijing citizens, I am also making my own contribution to our Green Olympics.

We clearly remember that at the 2004 Athens Olympics, when Liu Xiang stepped onto the podium, he wore a headband made of olive branches. Doesn't this green olive branch represent the "Green Olympics"? The olive branch symbolizes peace, and the Olympic Games are the carrier of "peace". We cannot simply understand that "no war means peace." "Human and nature live in harmony" is also the most essential meaning of "peace". The specific behavior of "saving resources and protecting the environment" that pursues "harmony between man and nature" is the specific embodiment of the Olympic spirit. So we say: Peace is the soul of the Olympics, the Olympics is the carrier of peace, and the Green Olympics is our pursuit of peace from a higher realm. When the great spirit is widely embodied by "ordinary", this spirit will be carried forward and magnified.

It seems that the "Green Olympics" should start from scratch, from me, and from the people around me. Carry forward the Olympic spirit, promote the concept of Green Olympics, and make the 2008 Beijing Olympics truly a "Green Olympics". This is the unshirkable responsibility of every peace-loving and peace-pursuing people. It is also an ideological realm and pursuit of our middle school students in Beijing.

My speech is over, thank you everyone!
