"This handbook serves as an important text for sport and/or environmental management graduate students and is a valuable reference for sustainability practitioners, operations professionals, and communications executives at sports leagues, teams and venues. It provides rigorously researched examples of a wide variety of environmentally-focused initiatives that can be built upon by teams and venues currently sitting on the green-sports side lines. It lays the groundwork for more refined and meaningful green-sports scholarship and textbooks in the future." - Lew Blaustein, GreenSportsBlog.com
