C ZERO SPORT CLUBS
Dissemination event under the C ZERO SPORTS CLUB project
26.03.2024
On March 26th, 2024, in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria, Bulgarian sports development association, in cooperation with the volleyball club "Ahil" Sofia, held a dissemination event within the initiative "Carbon Neutral Sports Club Network – C ZERO SPORTS CLUB". The event was attended by the young graduates of the volleyball club and their coach Alexander Rashkov, who supported the initiative and planted flowers and trees, highlighting the importance of children taking an active part in this process.
The young Achillets were very enthusiastic that they could not only plant but also grow these flowers and plants and thus help their school, sports club and the capital itself to become greener, cleaner and more beautiful. The plants were purchased by the Bulgarian sports development association within the project "Carbon Neutral Sports Club Network – C ZERO SPORTS CLUB" and donated to the sports club by Ivaylo Zdravkov, board member of the organization. The participants also received sustainable wooden cards to introduce them to different types of sports and to arouse their curiosity about eco-friendly materials and new activities.
The "Carbon Neutral Sports Club Network – C ZERO SPORTS CLUB" project aims to encourage small European sports clubs to understand and take climate conservation actions. It is essential for sports clubs to adopt an eco-friendly management approach by starting to use digital tools and taking responsibility for the environment. They play a crucial role in engaging in local activities that go beyond sports, gaining community support. Through the network of carbon-neutral sports clubs that we plan to establish, we will develop a roadmap for eco-friendly activities that we will plan and implement within sports clubs in the future. These activities will be related to eco-friendly club management, including the use of recycled materials, eco-friendly lamps, bicycles, and the organization of attractive activities for planting trees and more.
The project aims to create a "Network of Carbon Neutral Sports Clubs." First and foremost, a carbon footprint measurement program will be developed, including both ecological and sports activities tailored to specific needs. This program will be implemented by sports clubs. After sports clubs pilot this program, it will evolve into a carbon footprint measurement application, to be used by a larger number of sports clubs. A network of carbon-neutral sports clubs will also be established, where the use of the developed application will be mandatory. Through this network, the measurement of the carbon footprint will be popularized, and more sports clubs, and later non-governmental organizations, will join it. In this way, as sports clubs, we will fulfill our responsibility in combating climate change.
The C ZERO SPORTS CLUB project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Commission.
