Green Sports Alliance adds its first Formula One venue
The Circuit of the Americas venue in Austin, Texas, has become the first Formula One facility to join the Green Sports Alliance.
The Portland-based nonprofit organization is made up of more than 40 international professional and collegiate sports teams and about 90 sports venues that work with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other green experts to improve their environmental performance.
Members in the Green Sports Alliance share best practices to improve the environmental performance of their venues, saving millions of dollars through energy and water conservation, waste reduction, recycling and composting.
The Green Sports Alliance was formed last year and has been adding members at a brisk pace.
Alliance members have reported reductions as high as 30 percent in energy usage, 60 percent in natural gas use and more than 20 percent in water use.
