Destruction of forest for the 2018 Winter Olympics

by Ian Short

This particular issue raised by Avaaz has really irritated me: the South Korean government is cutting down ancient forestland to build ski slopes for the 2018 Winter Olympics. See Avaaz – International Olympic Committee: go green for the games . It’s just disgraceful. Other countries should boycott the games.

Seems that the Winter Olympics has a history of similar crimes; see this depressing article.
