Green Athletics

The Green Athletics team works collaboratively with the UW–Madison Athletics department to address sustainability in athletic facilities, operations, and events.

Athletics are a highly-visible component of UW–Madison and offer a unique opportunity to integrate sustainability into campus culture. In the path towards integrating sustainability into athletics at UW–Madison, the Green Athletics team will engage student athletes, fans, and the public to reduce UW–Madison’s environmental footprint. The Green Athletics team plans to work with facilities directors to address food, energy, water, and waste operations in athletics facilities, creating a systems approach that supports the University of Wisconsin’s current sustainability efforts and goals.
