London has teamed up with environmental groups WWF and BioRegional to form the concept of "One Planet Olympics".

The idea is based on the environmental groups' One Planet Living campaign, which says global consumption and pollution levels need to be brought back within the Earth's ability to absorb the demands humans place upon it.

David Stubbs, head of environment for the London 2012 team, says the idea will help people make the link between sport and the environment.

What bloody link? What next? Paedophile Awareness Commonwealth Games?
