Green Sports Day is celebrating its eighth anniversary as more professional and amateur sports organizations band together to protect the planet. Thanks to the work of the Green Sports Alliance, Oct. 6 is the day to recognize companies like GSA, EcoAthletes, Oak View Group, and many other sports/entertainment organizations implementing sustainability in their business operations.
We’ve covered everything from sports business and economics to the history of one of the best stories in English soccer. We encourage our readers to read our sports business coverage to celebrate the day when stadiums light up green to raise awareness about environmental issues.
