eco Olympics

London 2012 Olympics are just two years away and I just found out that the Olympic Stadium being built will be made of recycled guns and knives! Yep, you heard it, confiscated weapons from the Metropolitan Police Department are being melted down into scrap metal and used to help build the stadium.  A combo recycling and anti-weapons program! Awesome!

But, wait! London doesn't have anything on this month's XXI Winter Games in Vancouver...
Get this: recycled metals from the circuit boards of old computers and cell phones have been melted down and cast into the Olympic medals! No two medals will be the same...how cool is that?!
Check out this video to hear more about the designers of these unique Olympic medals.
