Some are hailing the 2014 World Cup as the greenest ever. Simon Trace, CEO of Practical Action, is among those that are lauding the green accomplishments of the World Cup in Brazil. He cited the unparalleled use of solar energy saying, "the organisers and FIFA are to be congratulated for making a considerable financial investment and making this the greenest World Cup in history."
Brazil generated more renewable energy than any other World cup before. The investment in green power is helping to grow the nation's renewable energy sector which employs a total of 894,000 people.
