Greening Our Games: Running Sports Events and Facilities that won't Cost the Earth

Greening Our Games is the first book to show sports decision-makers how to reduce their environmental impact and pocket the savings through 'eco-efficiency.' It covers every issue today's manager and organizer must be ready to deal with. It describes how sport affects and is affected by the health of the environment. It explains not only why the sports community should address these concerns but how to go about doing it. It offers practical, step-by-step guidance that is as accessible to the student as it is to the professional. Greening Our Games offers a promising vision of sport for the future; a model of "sustainable sport" which is admirably suited to addressing the economic, environmental, health and social concerns of the sports industry and the communities in which it operates.
