The host cities of Olympics have a various advantages of positive effect on local economies, bringing tourists from all around world. However, as the news of over budget, massive debt and environment destruction have been noted to the public, many host cities become angry. They oppose paying high tax dollars on large sporting festivals and about 90% of residents of Vila Autodromo in which people have law income have left.
Furthermore, building the new golf courses has destructed the Atlantic forest. In addition to that, there was embarrassing happening at the place where the rowing and canoeing competitions will held in the state of Rodrigo. More than 37tons of dead fish from the Rodrigo de Freitas lake has been collected. The water is contaminated with dead fish and rotten food with which cause bad smell and look.
In the end, the environmental activists break into IOC official's meeting in Rio's Cobacabana beach to protest against environmental damage due to Rio Olympic game. Unlike government promise in the beginning, the waterways have not been cleaned and Olympic golf courses harm environment severely. The environmental activists believed that those games will bring destruction of ecosystem instead of improvement.
People say Olympic game so called world festival. Not to mention I do wait every 4years to watch Olympic game. However, if it becomes the disaster for other creatures, I will be so sad and angry about this event. It is 1 year left to go 2016 Rio Olympic game already. I hope that our government and any sponsor make their all the efforts to improve the environment condition and quality.
