That's NPR's Ping Wong.

Thanks a lot.

Well, in Italy's bid to host the Olympics, which is taking place in Milan and in towns across the Italian Alps, organizers promised that it would be an environmentally sustainable Olympics.

In fact, they said they would actually use these games to highlight the importance of the sensitive alpine mountain ecosystem and actually showcase how to protect it.

But

Environmental groups are telling a different story.

NPR's Ruth Sherlock is here to discuss.

So, Ruth, you visited the town of Cortina.

That's one of the main places where the Olympics is being held.

Environmental activists are a little worried.

Why?

Wow.

And you know, it's funny because I've had friends of mine that love traveling the world looking for snow to ski on.

They've been saying for years that snow is getting harder to find.

Now, that amount of water, Ruth, that you mentioned, where are they getting it?

Yeah, 98.

So close to 100.

It sounds like a lot.

And that's the thing with the Olympics.

I mean, it does leave a big footprint.
