The topic I will be discussing throughout the semester clearly has to deal with sustainability. Although sustainability is the main topic, it is a very broad topic. What I am researching on has to tie in sustainability through sports. I have always been involved in sports, so this topic interested me because I love sports and am becoming more and more interested on sustainability. I am writing about Universities making their sports facilities more sustainable. Universities such as UC Boulder and University of Wisconsin have taken matters into their own hands in making their fields, courts, and other facilities more sustainable. Yale and the NCAA have even come up with ways to create a more sustainable environment when it comes to athletics. These universities are creating compost clubs. UC at Boulder used 80% of their compost from football games to recycle as a way to create energy. University of Wisconsin even played football games in carbon-neutral conditions. By making small sustainable movements through these universities, other universities will hopefully be impacted to make sustainable changes themselves.

Hi Abby, I think that you have a really interesting topic to write on. It is something that is important and apparent in our society and so it is necessary to make it more environmentally friendly. It would be interesting to see if USU could make any of the changes you described in the articles above. Thanks for your work!
