Lyrics from Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi once again comes to mind;
"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."
In this case; Sochi, they filled in wetlands displacing over 65 bird species for a so-called "park."

Trees were planted but they cannot replace the natural forested area's they eliminated.
Species from bears to fish are also "sol."
Rivers have been impacted also.
Thousands of fish were released into Mzymta, but none survived because of pollution and debris.

Question being; how much environmental damage should viewers of the Olyimpic games
ignore and endorse?
And do we care?Or is it all about the skiers?
