<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Sports continue to ‘go green’]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by human power http://www.grist.org/article/on-the-ball-swiftly-running-out-of-good-sports-headlines/ Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:46:36 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/on-the-ball-swiftly-running-out-of-good-sports-headlines/1 Less brown does not equal green

To quote an ex-President, "Give me a break." Ballparks that provide parking for fossil-fool powered wheelchairs are definitely not green. Did anyone notice the calculation of the carbon footprint of a typical football match in England that was published two years ago? Another big brownie. Interestingly, aside from transportation the largest contributer was meat; PETA is clearly on  the right track. Golf courses? No mention of banning all herbicides so I guess the fish are still going belly-up. Also, I have never seen another person show up at a golf course without a steel wheelchair. I really am tired of all of the greenwash.

Sports are a great way to get the word out. Although they may not be accomplishing much if anything in the way of meaningful carbon reductions, they are spreading a meme and it is sinking in.

In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Poison Darts--Protecting the biodiversity of our world
