Join us for a unique webinar discussing the impact of sports on our environment
About this Event

The sports industry is much more than the teams that are taking the field. In today’s world of sports, managers must be aware of all components of their organization and this includes environmental impacts.

The sports industry has the ability to impact and influence our communities and many sports organizations are evaluating their environmental impacts. Please register for this event ONLY at ufsarasotaext.eventbrite.com rather than any third-party websites, as they are not affiliated with our classes and events. Once registered through Eventbrite, the system will send you a confirmation email with the webinar link.

One way the industry is changing is through the promotion of healthy and sustainable communities. Sports leagues, franchises, colleges, teams, venues, and events are looking to embrace environmental programs: energy and water conservation, recycling and zero waste programs, sustainable purchasing, safer chemicals and environmentally friendly practices. This workshop blends lessons in sustainable best management practices and is open to anyone interested in learning ways to green their operations.
