To protect sports future, we need the collaborative effort of our community in mitigating our impact on the environment and adapting best practices. We have the capacity and an imperative to take pole position in leading the charge and to act in ways where we leave our communities in the same condition, if not better, than we found them.

What is Sustainability?
Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present population without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
The concept of sustainability is composed of three pillars: economic, environmental, and social—also known informally as planet, prosperity, and people.
Having a sustainability mindset is easy. Just ask yourself the following questions:
-
Do I need this product or service? - Refuse.
-
Can I reduce the resources involved in this activity? - Reduce.
-
Can I replace this product with a more sustainable option? - Replace.
-
Can I reuse these products? - Reuse.
-
How do I dispose of waste appropriately? Reuse or recycle.
