Joining environmental advisers to Major League Baseball, the NBA, the NHL, Major League Soccer, USTA, the NFL and other leagues and teams, Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, director of the Sports Greening Project of the Natural Resources Defense Council, will lead a panel discussion of how the major leagues provide leadership in sports environmental work, education, information and sustainable practices at the local, national and international levels. Greening new sports facilities, renovating iconic sports stadiums and arenas, and engaging professional teams, leagues and athletes, the sports universe provides unparalleled opportunities to reach out to hundreds of millions of fans about the critical importance of environmental challenges, such as energy efficiency, clean air, healthy food, recycling, climate change, and water protection and conservation.
