Revolutionizing Sustainability: NDRS Debuts at the Cotton Bowl Stadium for FC Barcelona vs. Club America Match
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 Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas Texas. Soccer lovers and sports goers can visit the Club America NDRS during the FC Barcelona vs. Club America match on December 21st 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 the Cotton Bowl 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 Cotton Bowl Stadium, the Club America NDRS will be located at the front entrance of the stadium to make 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 ensures that all the donated shoes and clothes are guaranteed to get a second life!
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. If you would like to become a NDRS host for your organization or community, you can reach out to us here.
Thanks to Fundación Televisa and Club America’s environmental commitment, these positive initiatives will make a difference in helping to create a more sustainable future for all. 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 Cotton Bowl Stadium on December 21st! Our container will be located on the left side of the front entrance.
