From Blue to Green

I've been thinking about how we as a club can help meet the 2050 target for net zero. Should we be more green as a club?

For example Forest Green Rovers plans for a new stadium seem to be a step in the right direction. Link below:


Have we missed a trick with BMD to set another club first in terms of being green?

What else can we do to be more environmentally friendy? It may be the time for more drastic measures.

Some suggestions:

Recycling all players shirts to be reused for the next year.

Operate a bring your own reusable plastic cup policy for pints.

Request to only play daytime fixtures to reduce the need for floodlights.

Do away with player car parks and allocate bike stands only to encourage them to cycle to and from training and the stadium and allow extra days off for the longer away trip cycles.

Any other suggestions?
Green gravel ?
 
Always been a fan of going green where you can.
Got a lovely one last night.
The buds were like little asteroids.

Berry gelato in case you were wondering
 


The FGR statement though - something of a contradiction in terms when it starts off all pious about green this, green that and sustainability and in the next breath talks about a car park sufficiently large enough to hold 1700 cars. Presumably, this will be restricted to users of electric cars only.
 
I thought Castore do green kits? First the badge comes off to be recycled and then after about 10 washes it dissolves completely.

Should imagine we are quite green compared to most clubs, given the size of our solar panels and the new lighting systems.
