The idea of this project would be to use sports to make our planet healthy and green again.

Firstly, my project would be to make sports in my town more environmentally friendly and use sports as a way to raise awareness of the climate crisis. The goal is to organize a series of sport events related to the environment directly or indirectly. Directly, I would like to organize different types of runs such as plugging runs on the beach or the forest of Le Havre and give the waste we pick up to a recycling organization. Another idea would be to organize a charity run with different types of sponsors who would finance the runners to give funds to a local organization fighting against climate change. Then the second aspect would be to make the sports clubs on campus greener with small and easy changes. Meaning that we would have actions dedicated to reduce the carbon footprint of the sports clubs such as for example introducing active transports as the main way to get to training, use reusable or compostable equipment during sports events or introducing buy and sell programmes for used equipment.

Secondly, I would like to use sports as a way to promote health and well-being in my town. The project would consist of organizing sports activities such as running in the forest or taking yoga lessons on the beach as a way to reconnect with nature through sports. Moreover, since I live in the coastal city of le Havre we will promote non-carbon emissions sports such as sailing, surfing, kayaking or windsurfing. Finally we will try to involve in our selected activities people suffering from physical and mental health issues (eg :drug/alcohol addicts, handicaped or disabled people) by working closely with the town hall and hospitals of le Havre.

Sporty Green Planet seeks to do simple steps to promote well-being and a healthy environment through the lenses of sports.
