X-Games
This month, ItYourNature went to Aspen to cover the X-Games. They've got quite a system set up as far as their recycling, composting, and sustainability goes. The event leaves behind almost no carbon footprint.
In this video, 3-time X Games gold medalist Gretchen Bleiler shares her tips for stopping global warming and protecting the sport she loves.

Here's an excerpt from the article located at ItsYourNature:
"The Ski Industry has been hurting for some time now because of Global Warming. In Aspen/Snowmass alone, winter has started 18 days later and ended 10 days earlier over the last 50 years. In addition to less snow and fewer ski days, other changes include canceled races/events and fewer jobs for resort employees, which means higher unemployment and less tax revenue for important services such as health care and education. Now Aspen/Snowmass is one of the lucky mountain resorts with their base elevation at almost 8000 feet, but they are not immune to the effects of GW. Ski-resorts in low-lying mountains are putting more and more money into their snow-making programs, some as much as 20% of their overall budget. Internationally, glaciers throughout the Alps are reportedly losing one percent of their mass every year to warmer temperatures; two-thirds of the world-wide skiing market is found outside of the United States. The resorts rely heavily on the glaciers to provide the best international skiing and snowboarding possible, so more time and energy are put into making snow. As we all know, Global Warming affects us all. But for Skiers and Snowboarders, they take it personally. And they're doing something about it."
