The World Cup is rapidly approaching, and South Africa is keeping it eco-friendly. Five stadiums that will be used in the games all embody some environmentally-friendly practices. Two are new, two are old, and one is remodeled, but all are leaning toward being as “green” as possible in their own specific ways.
The new stadiums were built with solar power capabilities; are flexible enough to be used for other events in the future; and one even has a rainwater collection system. While the older stadiums aren’t equipped with solar panels or anything high-tech, they’re age helps make them environmentally friendly. Rather than tearing down perfectly good, usable stadiums, opting to use preexisting structures is definitely a responsible choice. Finally, the remodeled stadium lets in daylight through its roof, and retains much of the elements of the previous structure.

It’s a nice approach, really appreciative. Rainwater collection for power generation is very good step.
