Officials at the Olympic Games taking place in Salt Lake City，Utah，say they have met their environmental goals. However，environmental groups say the Salt Lake Olympic Games have done permanent harms to the area. Protection of the environment is now officially one of the three goals of the Olympic movement. The other two goals are sports and culture. Today，many cities seeking to hold the Olympic Games promise to offer greater protection of the environment. However，an environmental group says that the Salt Lake Olympic Committee makes promises that it has not kept. For example，activists criticize ski jumps that were built into the sides of the mountains. They also criticize the officials for permitting trees to be cut down and new roads built for the Olympic Games. They said better public transportation is needed to help decrease air pollution during the Games. And they said not enough has been done to reduce energy use. Lawyers say the Olympics are being used as an excuse to permit development that normally would be unacceptable under the current environmental laws.
