[Guest guest]

ENVIRONMENT: World Cup Football Kicks Off Green Goal Initiative BERLIN, Germany. This year's World Cup football (soccer), tournament in Germany will be the greenest ever with a new eco-friendly Green Goal initiative now in place. Green Goal incorporates measurable environmental targets in four key areas - water, refuse, energy and mobility. The headline target is the organization of a climate neutral 2006 World Cup. To kick off the Green Goal initiative, an agreement has been signed between the German

government, the organizers of the 2006 Fdration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The agreement was signed in Berlin by the present German Environment Minister Juergen Trittin, World Cup Organizing Committee Senior Vice President Horst Schmidt, and UNEP Executive Director Klaus Toepfer, a former German environment minister. Toepfer said, "This is the first time that the world's leading sports event the FIFA World Cup has incorporated environmental considerations in the preparation and staging of its games. There is an increasing realization by organizers of major sports events that they must seriously integrate the impact of their events on the environment." http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/sep2005/2005-09-07-06.asp
