#193: NFL Becomes More Blue
Published on by Travis Loop, Founder of waterloop, a podcast helping water leaders to discover solutions and drive change.
The NFL has long had an environment program to mitigate the impact of its major events and leave a green legacy in host cities.
But over the last few years, water stewardship has become a more prominent part of the portfolio, particularly in conjunction with the Super Bowl, as discussed in this episode with Jack Groh, Director of the NFL Environment Program.
He explains how the NFL works with Force Blue, an organization of military special operations veterans, to conduct water projects, including restoring coral reef in Florida, helping the kelp forest in California, and removing invasive snails in an Arizona river.
Jack also talks about engaging the NFL fans to raise awareness of current water issues and increase stewardship.
