Sports tend to be bad for the environment, but Forest Green Rovers Football Club have been redefining sustainability in sports for years. Some of the amazing things they've done include:
- Use solar panels to power aspects of their stadium; rely on Ecotricity for the remainder of their energy needs
- Serve only vegan food at their stadium
- Soccer players consume an all-vegan diet
- Removed all instances of single-used plastic
- They either create or buy cleaning products in bulk (eliminating the need to recycle plastic containers)
- Provide EV charging stations for visitors
- Use rainwater collected on-site for watering their pitch
- Provide carpool services for away games
- Use the first solar-powered robotic lawnmower to cut grass; provide that cut grass to local farmers for compost
