England and Manchester United footballer Gary Neville is teaming up with the founder of Britain's first green energy company, Dale Vince to make sport more sustainable.
An exciting new initiative 'Sustainability In Sport' was unveiled at Old Trafford on Tuesday 24 May. All the electricity used during the game was matched by electricity generated by Ecotricity's 52 windmills across the UK, to effectively make it a 'wind-powered' game.
Sustainability In Sport is a new partnership supported by Gary and Dale, with the aim of taking the eco message into the world of sport. The environmental projects will be delivered by Sustainability In Sport, the first of which will be a community solar scheme in Manchester using Mitsubishi solar panels. Applications for these solar schemes are invited via http://www.sustainabilityinsport.com
