Devastating the Gulf of Mexico. Digging up dirty oil in the tar sands. Keeping the world addicted to fossil fuels and making climate catastrophe inevitable. Yet BP is the London 2012 'Sustainability Partner'. Mining giant Rio Tinto is providing metals for the 2012 Olympic medals from mines in USA and Mongolia, producing deadly air pollution in Utah and endangering scarce water sources in the Gobi desert. It's scandalous that athletes will be presented medals tainted with injustice, environmental pollution and deadly health impacts. Sheltering a fugitive corporation from justice. A corporation it happily merged with that is wanted, on CRIMINAL charges, for the culpable homicide of 25,000 people in the world's worst industrial disaster. Just one of the reasons why the Dow Chemical Company are not living up to the ideals of 'Olympism'.
