Sports and the environment are inextricably linked. Soccer,
basketball and football. Ice hockey and skiing. Baseball, tennis
and cross-country running. Cricket and croquet. Regattas and
white-water rafting. The games we love today were born outdoors
and are still enjoyed on fields and courts in parks, on beaches
and mountainsides, in oceans and streams. Without clean air,
clean water and a healthy climate, our enjoyment of most sports
would not be possible. NRDC has teamed up with professional
sports organizations to create the EPA award-winning Greening
Advisor—a guide to help pro sports teams implement eco-
intelligent practices in their hometowns. By promoting energy
efficiency, recycling programs, waste reduction, water
conservation and other smart operations, teams will help keep
our nation’s air and water clean, reduce their contribution to
global warming and see cost saving benefits.
