Green Sports Pod
September 10, 2020
Environmental justice, the disproportionate exposure of communities of color and the poor to the harmful impacts of pollution, had not gotten much oxygen in the sports world, until a groundbreaking panel discussion on the topic at the 2019 Green Sports Alliance Summit in Philadelphia. Kunal Merchant, an expert on environmental justice and the head of Lotus Advisory, a consulting firm that helps clients — including sports teams and venues — pursue transformative change, moderated.
In episode 9 of GreenSportsPod, we pick up this very important conversation with Kunal. He pushes the sports industry — and the Green-Sports niche within it — to use its influence to go much harder and deeper on environmental justice.
