Countdown: 10 days to go - sustainability: more than a word

2012-09-20

Sustainability. A word that has characterized the German-speaking world increasingly in the past two decades. Of course also the organizers of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON thought about how to contribute to this matter.
For this year's BMW Berlin Marathon the motto is: "The films of today are the films of tomorrow." The thermal films in the start and finish areas are collected, pressed and packed into containers to be picked up afterwards from recycling company ALBA and recycled into new films and other plastic items.
At the BERLIN VITAL Expo only reusable dishes are used to meet the ecological thought, and the skaters get ecological water bottles.
Furthermore, there will be released a small new feature at the homepage of the BMW BERLIN MARATHON in the coming days. To promote the use of public transport a timetable of the BVG, the public transport company of Berlin, will be integrated on the website. Another new feature will be a search engine of a German car sharing company at the homepage as well.
