green Olympics

The Green Games code of ethics is purported by its author David Chernushenko to be sufficient to achieve it.

It is not a moral order but resembles one in some respects. It attempts to reconcile ecological wisdom with sport, placing ecosystem and body in a context.

"Participants in sport and recreational activities of any sort shall, through their policies and actions:

• Recognize protection and conservation of the natural environment as a primary responsibility of all who engage in sporting activities.
• Pledge to pursue sport in ways that do not compromise the intrinsic values of natural environments and the cultural and social integrity of host communities.
• Recognize the pursuit of "Green Games" to be a commitment to sustainable sport and a meaningful contribution to the goal of environmental sustainability.
• Commit to enhancing personal or societal understanding and awareness of natural environments and associated human communities so as to develop appreciation and win support for resource conservation.
• Accept ecological principles as the preferred basis for determining the capacity of host landscapes to support sports facilities and activities.
• Engage in personal behaviours that contribute to the spirit of teamwork, sharing, respect and pursuit of excellence that characterize sport.

Accept that ethical behaviour in sport is global and applies to all level of activity." According it is proposed as a starting point to a global ethics.
