Sustainability in Athletics

Stanford is changing the game when it comes to uniting its athletes, sports staff, and fans around sustainability in the sports community. Below are ways to reduce your environmental impact while participating or viewing sports events on campus:

• Stanford Athletics expanded recycling and compost bin locations throughout its facilities. Make sure you’re #WinningAtBinning by properly sorting your recyclables, compostables, and trash
• Bring empty, reusable water bottles to use at the water refilling stations
• Don’t forget you’re using precious water; try to keep showers in the rec center to five minutes or less
• Carpool or use alternative transport (like Caltrain or the free Marguerite Shuttle) to get to the game
• Bring clear trash bags to tailgates to separate your waste (clear bags help people see what’s inside!)
• Donate used athletics gear (especially shoes!) at the Stanford Recycling center at the corner of Serra Street and Campus Drive
