The Olympic Flame and a Lake You Can Drink From

An Earth Day Perspective from California and Switzerland


How many lakes in the United States can you drink water from? Few, if any, but in Switzerland, you can drink the water from Lake Geneva, one of the cleanest lakes in the world. We invite you to take a few minutes to hear from Global Brand Ambassador Rod Brown and bluesign Senior Executive Advisor Bjorn Harenstam, sharing their perspective on Earth Day


Rod is in the California desert, and Bjorn is in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the International Olympic Committee headquarters in front of the Olympic flame. This location is appropriate as the 2024 Olympics will be in France, adjacent to Lake Geneva. These will be the most sustainable Olympic games in history.
