Sports organizations should do more to reduce their environmental impact. Big events often create air pollution and waste. To help, they can use solar panels to power stadiums with clean energy like at Carter-Finley Stadium (NC State). This would lower their carbon footprint. Teams should also track their total footprint, including travel and materials used. Reducing plastic and promoting recycling at games is important too. Athletes can use their voices to support environmental causes. Sports clubs can also choose eco-friendly sponsors. Using public transport or trains can cut emissions.For example, the SC Freiburg, a German football club, setting up a system where each game ticket allows attendees to take the train for the day to and from the games. If all these actions are taken, sports can become more sustainable.
