- Synopsis
- Key Selling Points This book examines the impact of sports on the environment, the ways climate change affects athletes, and how organizations, athletes and fans are taking action to make amateur and professional sports sustainable for the future. In It to Win It offers a unique angle on the climate crisis and includes practical actions young readers can take to make the sports they play and watch better for the planet. The global sports industry contributes the same amount of Co2 to the environment as some entire countries, like Spain and Poland. The author spoke with industry experts and professional athletes around the world for research and examples to include in the book, like the Climate Pledge Arena, Oracle Park, EcoAthletes and Forest Green Rovers. The author's son attends a baseball academy in Florida and they did some of the research for this book together.
