Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The greatest applause during the Olympic’s “spectacular” Green Opening Ceremony in Rio was for regenerating Mother Earth and celebrating our beautiful diversity, from the Refugee Teams, to the female Arab Olympians, the “greatest gymnast ever” Simon Biles, and Brazil’s City of God Olympians, to the strutting Gisele Bundschen.
Rio’s murky waters and Zika mosquito challenges are a preview of coming attractions unless as an Olympic Family, like the musicians and actors, we boldly mobilize to curb climate change. Their warmer waters, combined with their sewer challenges, which they could not fully afford to fix despite spending 1/10 of London’s Opening, resulted in their infections waters.
