World Cup `will have sizeable carbon footprint`
The World Cup 2010 is expected to have a carbon footprint six times the size of that of the last tournament in Germany four years ago.According to a study conducted by the Norwegian government on behalf of the South African authorities, the carbon footprint of the football competition will be bigger than the last one, however the last study did not account for transport to and from the World Cup, CNN reports.To reduce the impact, South African authorities have begun implementing carbon offsetting initiatives, including planting trees in urban areas, but local green activists say this is not enough.Bobby Peek, Friends of the Earth South Africa, told the news provider: `Once carbon is produced, claiming that offsetting is `neutralising` the carbon footprint is nothing more than `greenwash`.``Sadly, Friends of the Earth South Africa believes nothing can be done to lessen the carbon footprint, despite the reassurances made by the various cities.`This year`s Fifa World Cup is due to kick off in the African nation in nine days time on June 11th.
