Environmental Practices And Sustainability Within The Sport

Many firms are learning that being environmentally friendly and sustainable has numerous benefits. (O.C Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell, 2015). This could enable them to increase goodwill from various stakeholders and also save money in the long term. This will mean that they are being more efficient and less wasteful of resources, which will enable them to be more competitive by satisfying stakeholders. The CEO of

The environmental issues are one of the most overwhelming issues of today due to the consequences of global warming and climate changes. Given with the global environmental concerns at hand ,various aspects of the human activities has been scrutinized, from economic, social, scientific, technological, academic, medical, social, political, and social aspects. One of the interactions in the human dynamics that has been associated with environment, where its consequences and impacts are scrutinized and assessed, is the sports. Sport is one of the biggest sources of enjoyment and recreation for billions of people around the world. While there are some that actively participate in various sports, majority of the people around the globe serve as spectators of these events. However, the love of man to sports is coupled with consequences and responsibilities.

The NASCAR industry goes through a significant amount of fuel each race weekend. In an article by Max Frankel, he discusses how “every sport is energy intensive” and NASCAR is no exception. When we think of the average gas mileage for the typical car, we find the averages tend to be between 22-27 MPG. In the racing industry, cars are averaging between 2-5 MPG (Frankel). Frankel uses some information he found from howstuffworks.com about how much fuel this industry can go through each weekend. “In a single typical NASCAR race weekend, with more than 40 cars at high speeds for 500 miles — plus practice laps — at 5 mpg of gas, you’re looking at, conservatively, about 6,000 gallons of fuel.” (Finney qtd. in Frankel) Now, what does this mean exactly? This means that throughout the entire race season, which

We must all help sustain the Earth as we all must live together. This Earth belongs to everyone, not just one or a select few. NASCAR is in a unique position as the leader in motorsports to choose a pathway that could potentially change millions of Americans, and quite possibly hundreds of thousands more outside the U.S., into eco-friendly advocates for cleaner air-quality. NASCAR should take more initiatives toward sustainability because their use of American corn will create partnerships with American businesses, The use of fuel injectors instead of carburetors would use less gas, and more environmentalists would be able to become a fan.

In the article, “The Athlete as Agent of Change,” the author states that athletes use the national anthem to protest by turning their backs on the American flag, so they can influence the people. People responded negatively when this happened and angrily taunted the athletes who were involved with the protest. I believe that because our American society has the right to protest and freedom of speech, athletes can show how they feel and influence the public to see their point of view, but I do not agree with dishonoring our flag. Thousands of men have fought and will continue to fight, so that our country can have freedom and safety, so if they dishonor the flag then they are dishonoring those men who have died for us. I believe that it is disrespectful,

To start off this discussion I think it is important to clearly define the main points of this topic, in order to give the piece, and the readers, some context. Personally, I define sports as any physical activity, which involves some level of competition. For this discussion, I will be talking about how a materials improvement has made a great impact in the world of sports, specifically within the past century; therefore, the next important point to clarify is my definition of “impact”. When an object has an impact on another object, the initial object obviously has some sort of effect on that receiving object. More specific to sports though, I define “impact” as improved performance by athletes that progresses the sport to the next level of ability.

When I was five years old I began school. In Kindergarden we learned basic things like letters, numbers, and how not to be fully engulfed in flames. For some reason, 2004 was the height of anti-fire education in Missouri and before I knew how to tie my shoes I knew that if I ever was ablaze, to cover my face, fall to my knees, and roll back and fourth. This is what my institution placed serious value upon and because I was a student of that institution I also placed serious value upon it. The same idea must be applied to a university's teaching of environmental sustainability. This is discussed in David Orr's "What is Education For?" Through choosing a curriculum a university chooses what it places value onto, by making the environment a priority it showcases to the future generations that environmental wellness is an important responsibility for them to take ownership.
