Club America takes on Environmental Initiatives – Brings Sneaker Recycling to SoFi Stadium
In an effort to increase sports textile recycling and lessen the amount of pollution produced, Club America has partnered with nonprofit Green Education Foundation and Televisa to introduce Neighborhood Donation Recycling Station (NDRS) at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood California. Soccer lovers and sports goers can visit the Club America NDRS on August 3rd and help out the environment by recycling old athletic shoes thanks to Club America’s new environmental initiative “Tenis Con Alas”, or “Sneakers with Wings”! For more information on how you can join Club America in reducing sports waste at SoFi Stadium, continue to read on!
NDRS, or neighborhood donation recycling stations, are a great way to reduce waste and recycle materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. At the SoFi Stadium, the Club America NDRS will be placed in a strategic location making it easy for sports goers and attendees to donate the shoes they no longer need. As opposed to just throwing your old sports shoes away, you can “give them wings” by recycling them and give them a second life!
By diverting usable items from landfills, Club America is helping to conserve materials and prevent pollution. Furthermore, recycling helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as it takes less energy to recycle materials than it does to produce new materials. So, by donating your old sneakers to Club America NDRS, you are not only helping to reduce waste, but you are also helping to protect the environment. Green Education Foundation’s closed loop recycling system ensures nothing goes to waste, and that all of the donated shoes are guaranteed to get a second life! To learn more about NDRS, please visit recyclingedu.org.
Each year, Green Education Foundation diverts over 50 million pounds of materials from landfills with the goal of eventually reaching 100 million pounds per year! They accomplish this with help from cities and organizations, who help place NDRS on their properties in order to provide community members a place to recycle.
Under Fundación Televisa’s 20 years anniversary and Club America’s environmental commitment, these initiatives will make a difference in helping to create a more sustainable future for all. Over the years, the more victorious soccer team in Mexico and North America has embraced several actions in order to promote the environment’s betterment. Moreover, the NDRS not only represents a big opportunity to recycling, but also to be closer to the fan base of Las Águilas in the United States, sharing a great message for the generations to come.
Green Education Foundation is proud to be taking on these impactful initiatives with Club America and Fundación Televisa! By taking on these initiatives, Club America is making a positive difference for the environment and setting an example for other sports organizations to follow. Come visit Club America’s NDRS at SoFi Stadium on August 3rd! Our container will be located on East VIP, outside of Entry 10.
Join us, donate, and recycle!
