Its commitment to tackling climate change is of course welcome, but hardly important. Politics aside, I think having a "green" business profile really burnishes the image of a business. It would be cool for a massive club like Villa to take a lead role in promoting sustainability. Edited January 25, 2021 by maqroll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see Spurs are doing that with their new stadium. But according to the BBC, Villa rank last in sustainability measures among all Premier League clubs. The AVFC Supporter's Trust might consider pressing Villa brass on this. It would be good citizenship and good business to take a more aggressive approach on it. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55790760 There’s a difference between sustainability in impact on the climate. our stadium is decades old for the most part. Spurs just put enough concrete and steel into their stadium to be bottom of that list for some time. to give you an idea 1 tonne of concrete is about 0.94 tonne of co2 emissions to produce it. based on the concrete it took to build Wembley, you’re looking at setting fire to 230,000 barrels of crude oil to get the CO2 equivalent. yes we need to be better, but it’s like saying spurs ordered fifty cheeseburgers last year and ordered a Diet Coke this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
