Corrida verde

Atualizado em 11 de fevereiro de 2009

Impressionados com o grande número de garrafas de plástico e papéis espalhados após a última edição da prova, um grupo de estudantes da Escola de Belas Artes do Alabama, nos Estados Unidos, tomou a iniciativa de contribuir com os organizadores da Maratona Mercedes-Benz 2009 e irá cuidar da reciclagem do lixo coletado durante o evento.

“Os estudantes quiseram fazer algo para reduzir a quantidade de desperdício e gerar um impacto positivo em nosso ambiente”, disse Kristy Lundstrom, diretor da Escola de Belas Artes do Alabama.

Além da reciclagem do lixo, os estudantes também farão um trabalho de conscientização junto aos corredores. A Maratona Mercedes-Benz será realizada no próximo dia 15 de fevereiro, na cidade de Birmingham, no Alabama, e deve receber cerca de 10 mil participantes.
