This Clear Spot from April 26th asks which dodgy company most deserves the Greenwash Gold medal in 2012? Who is covering up environmental destruction and devastating communities while pretending to be a good corporate citizen by sponsoring the Olympic games? With so many controversial companies providing sponsorship, it’s a pretty tough call to make, but London Mining Network, UK Tar Sands Network and Bhopal Medical Appeal have shortlisted three and are enlisting your help to choose who gets the dishonour. Crammed into this programme, you will hear representatives of impacted communities from Mongolia, Utah, Canada, the Gulf Coast, West Papua and India telling stories as to how the sponsors of “the most sustainable Olympics ever” have devastated lives and livelihoods all over the world.
See the Greenwash Gold website at http://www.greenwashgold.org/ and vote for the worst Olympic sponsor!
