Building off the success of X Games Environmentality in 2005, Winter X Games 10 in Aspen claimed an impressive 50 percent waste diversion rate for the event and efforts at X Games 12 in Los Angeles delivered a staggering 71 percent waste diversion rate. These results were complemented by the following achievements:

• More than 800,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions generated by producing the X Games were offset through the use of wind power credits.
• Skateboarding and BMX ramps were constructed with lumber certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.
• Staff and spectators utilized an innovative waste collection system to sort waste into recyclables, compostables, and trash.
• Event staff dined on biodegradable food ware, including cups, bowls, and utensils that were later composted.
• A Web site was launched to promote a variety of interactive programs, including “Get Caught Recycling.” For more information, visit www.XGamesEnvironmentality.com.
