JUSTTHENEWS (Kevin Killough) - Winter Olympic athletes petition against fossil fuel while using gear and travel on petroleum fuel
Do as I say, not as I do: A petition signed by thousands of people, including Olympic athletes, claims that fossil fuels are "killing winter sports" and demands that the International Olympic Committee study if sponsorships from petroleum companies are appropriate. Despite much winter gear and apparel being made from petroleum, and the fact that the athletes fly to events on gas-guzzling jets, those facts seem to be ignored.
