Marriott set up a web 2.0 contest called “Eco-Cation†whereby contestants could submit sustainability videos to YouTube and win a trip to Costa Rica. We have checked the site and there are only two user responses. Either the contest was not successfully marketed or Marriott has since deleted the user content.

Air pollution can be so bad in Beijing that some events at the 2008 games may be postponed.
