The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently unveiled an online Green Sports Resource Directory that is designed to help teams, venues, and leagues save money and reduce carbon pollution through increased energy efficiency. Resources in this directory were set up to support teams and their fans, stadiums, and venues in their waste management, water and energy conservation, and other sustainability efforts.
EPA has also compiled a Green "Scoreboard" that is designed to highlight a number of winning efforts across numerous sports leagues and some statistics on the environmental and saving benefits. The Scoreboard is available on the Green Sports Resource Directory.
EPA is a founding partner of the Green Sports Alliance, which has more than 180 members. The Alliance is currently working with more than 75 professional and college teams in over 100 stadiums and sports venues across the country.
