Mr. Mayor Liu Qi
Beijing Municipal Government
Beijing, China
Dear Liu Qi,
Greetings from Greenpeace! We are glad to learn, from International Olympic
Committee (IOC), that Beijing is bidding to host the Olympic Game in the year
2008.
Greenpeace is an independent organization campaigning to ensure a just,
peaceful, sustainable environment for future generations. We began in Canada in
1971 and today have a presence in more than 40 countries with 2.4 million
supports worldwide.
As an international environmental organization, we are especially pleased to
know that Beijing is striving for a Green Olympic Game. We believe that this
event will help Beijing and its people to achieve their goal for a cleaner and
greener environment.
Greenpeace has been involving in Olympic events for a number of years. When the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced, in Monte Carlo in 1993, that
Sydney had won the right to host the 2000 Olympics, Greenpeace was there to
help promote the city's unique environmental approach.
Greenpeace continues to be involved in all environmental aspects of the Sydney
Olympics and has played an important watchdog role to ensure that early-day
promises have become latter-day realities. We have worked with Olympic
officials in Sydney and internationally, with companies hoping to meet the
Environmental Guidelines, with other bid-cities around the world and with
communities interested in the environmental lessons learned from the Sydney
Olympics.
Once again, we at Greenpeace, are extending our sincere support for the success
of Beijing’s effort to bid for a Green Olympic Game in the year 2008.
Best Regards,
Sincerely yours,
Greenpeace
