Carbon Copycats!

Vancouver Olympic organizers say they've come up with a plan to neutralize carbon emissions from the 2010 Games.

Their goal is to offset the emissions created by the 27-day Olympic and Paralympic Games plus travel by participants and spectators.

To do so, organizers are looking at signing sponsorship agreements with companies that would, among other things, invest in green technologies and programs.

Organizers say their emissions might actually be lower than the 300,000-tonne estimate set by the David Suzuki Foundation in 2007.

They say that's due to state-of-the-art technologies used in the design of Games venues that conserve as much energy as possible.

The announcement came as world and sport leaders are meeting in Vancouver to discuss the role sport can play in environmental change.
