Committed to Green The European Golf Association's environmental management programme for golf courses and events -- Committed to Green allows courses and events to seek certification if they can demonstrate progress according to indicators in nine categories: 1. General environmental planning 2. Nature conservation 3. Landscape and cultural heritage 4. Water resource management 5. Turfgrass management 6. Waste management 7. Energy efficiency and purchasing policies 8. Education and the working environment 9. Communications and public awareness Having established benchmarks and targets in these categories, certified organisations will have to demonstrate continued progress in order to be eligible for re-certification once every three years. EPIs will be an important tool in managing, monitoring and documenting progress. 1993 Canada Games The Canada Games held in Kamloops, B.C. was an example medium sized event that did not have the resources to develop an extensive environmental action plan. However, the organising committee did focus on a few initiatives, publicising them well and following through on commitments. The notable ventures included: • a recycling program that proved to be almost too popular. While waste was definitely diverted, potential revenue from the aluminum cans was lost as enterprising children raided the receptacles. • a public transportation program. The City of Kamloops arranged for more frequent bus services to key sites and offered special passes for the two weeks of the Games. Ridership increased significantly during this period. • Using non-disposable dishes and utensils. An army of dishwashing volunteers was required to work in shifts but tens of thousands of plates, bowls and utensils were diverted from the local landfill.
