Grassroots campaign

Use the power of grassroots football and help your club score green goals, win prizes and take action to help tackle climate change.

GRASSROOTS & CLIMATE

This year, County FA’s and the grassroots community will once again come together to support the Green Football campaign and help save kit from heading to landfill. This effort aims to reduce waste, preserve nature, and protect the game we love. Your County FA can demonstrate leadership in environmental sustainability by working as a network to connect all levels of the game and showcase how football can drive positive climate action.

Clubs from across the country can win ‘money can’t buy prizes’ for participating in simple climate-positive actions.

Wherever you are on your sustainability journey, you will make a massive difference by taking part. By coming together in a collaborative moment on climate, we can achieve much greater action and impact.

COST SAVINGS AND ACCESSIBILITY

Circular fashion and donation initiatives lower costs for grassroots clubs and families, making sports more accessible while reducing the need for new apparel production.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION

Awareness campaigns and green initiatives foster an environmentally conscious mindset among clubs and members, creating long-lasting impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Policies that promote reusing, resharing, or donating while adopting more sustainable purchasing behaviour, can drastically reduce sportswear waste and emissions.

INCREASED CONSUMER AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION

Education and transparency requirements empower consumers to make better-informed, sustainable choices

REDUCTION IN WASTE AND EMISSIONS

Mandatory recycling, sustainable materials, and circular economy practices can drastically reduce landfill waste and emissions in the sportswear industry.

STRONGER INDUSTRY ACCOUNTABILITY

Policy enforcement on transparency, fair labour, and emissions sets a high standard for sustainability, encouraging the entire sportswear industry to prioritise ecological and social responsibility.
