Sport Positive’s Post

Very disappointed to see that at the first trial rugby tournament at Kai Tak Sports Park, people were denied from bringing refillable water bottles despite water dispensers in the park. With over 10k attendees, what a missed opportunity for sustainability at a world-class sporting venue! 💧 At Muuse, we champion the importance of reusables in reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. Overflowing trash bins captured by Greenpeace in the attached news is a stark reminder of the impact our choices have on the environment. 📣 I urge Kai Tak Sports Park authorities to reconsider policies that limit the use of reusables. Allowing attendees to bring their own containers & making reusables available at the venue  is not just important—it's essential for fostering a sustainable future. 🤝 Let's prioritise our planet and empower individuals to make sustainable choices. #Muuse #Sustainability #Reusable #HongKong #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalAwareness https://lnkd.in/gQFrQFhB

Sports venues are leading the charge in sustainability, "surpassing other sectors like commercial real estate", as noted by Rhiannon Jacobsen of the U.S. Green Building Council. Driven by factors such as high visibility and reliance on public funding, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗰𝗼-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁.   While the exact climate impact of sports venues remains uncertain, solutions like retaining existing structures, exemplified by the Climate Pledge Arena's roof, and rethinking tournament formats to minimize travel are gaining traction. However, it's crucial to acknowledge the significant environmental impacts of large-scale events, such as carbon emissions from transportation and energy consumption during games. We must remain vigilant against greenwashing, where venues prioritize public image over genuine environmental stewardship.   Visible initiatives, such as waste reduction programs and offering free public transit, are pivotal in engaging fans and fostering a sense of community responsibility. Initiatives by the Seattle Kraken showcase how sports can unite people in addressing environmental challenges, highlighting the power of sports venues as catalysts for positive change. 🌟   While we celebrate these achievements, it's essential to address the environmental impact of large-scale events and ensure genuine environmental stewardship in all sustainability initiatives. Together, let's continue driving progress towards a greener future for sports.🌍⚽ https://dai.ly/x8sbxry #Sustainability #Sports #GreenVenues #ClimateAction #TheFrenchyUmpire

In recent years, European football has witnessed a significant shift towards sustainability, with clubs and stadiums adopting eco-friendly practices to reduce their environmental impact. https://lnkd.in/d95x9SRd

Arsenal, the Los Angeles Rams, the Denver Nuggets, and the Colorado Avalanche have teamed up to launch the Green Action League, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at promoting sustainability in sports! From eco-friendly practices to actively reducing their environmental footprint, these organizations are setting an important example for the entire sports industry. In a world where the climate crisis demands bold action, It makes me optimistic and hopeful to see these teams leading the way will inspire others. Imagine the impact of more sports organizations joining this movement, sustainability could become the new norm in the industry. Let’s hope this is just the beginning of a broader trend. Here’s to more teams and leagues following in their footsteps, using the platform of sport to champion a greener, more sustainable future. 🌱⚽🏈🏀🏒 #Sustainability #GreenActionLeague #SportsAndEnvironment #SportForGood #EnvironmentalImpact

In this year's annual SBRnet Study of Sports Fans, we asked about the sustainability and related habits of sports fans across all 19 of the sports that are measured in the study. What we found is that those sports that have a higher percentage of female fans tend to be more focused and pay more attention to issues related to the environment and sustainability.
