Robert heads to Gloucestershire to meet what could be the world’s greenest football club.
Tucked away in the Gloucestershire Hills one tiny football club is making one almighty impact on the world of sport. Today the club is home to an extensive vegan menu, a pesticide free pitch, solar panels, electric vehicle charging, a wind turbine and countless other low carbon initiatives.
Watched by 3.5 billion people across the world, should football set the standard for sustainability in sport? Robert met the Forest Green Rovers team to find out and to see how they’re reaching their ambitious climate goals!
