This is a thread for concentrating discussion about the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. We’re not disallowing dedicated posts about the Olympics on this community, but rather, this thread is more for any thoughts and discussions on the Olympics that are too small for their own thread. If you’re lucky enough to attend the events live, we’d love to see pictures, too!
I’ve seen tons of people complain how energy intensive and therefore environmentally harmful it is.
While they drive their SUVs to their oversized houses in the middle of nowhere American suburbia, presumably. Like, I’m as environmentalist as they come, but this one event is insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and if you’re going to argue against artificial snow for this single event, you might as well argue against all sports everywhere because they’re all environmental demons.
