Following Saturday's Guardian article about the strides being made in environmental protection at Forest Green Rovers, comes an article today focussing on work the EFL is doing with the 72 clubs to expand upon this initiative:
"On Monday the league will announce details of EFL Green Clubs, a new league-wide initiative that will offer support to our 72 members to reduce their environmental impact via a benchmarking and development scheme delivered by the environmental specialists at GreenCode.
"Where FGR have succeeded by introducing such things as electric mobility, renewable power and a vegan menu into their matchday experience, similarly other EFL clubs are making changes in this area, be it through reviewing supply chains, reducing use of single-use plastic or producing playing kits from recycled materials. But whatever stage of the journey, all of our clubs will be welcomed to the scheme and given education and ongoing practical assistance to green their business."
There is lots of deserved criticism for the EFL on this Board. Perhaps this is something that we can interpret more positively.
