"This handbook serves as an important text for sport and/or environmental management graduate students and is a valuable reference for sustainability practitioners, operations professionals, and communications executives at sports leagues, teams and venues. It provides rigorously researched examples of a wide variety of environmentally-focused initiatives that can be built upon by teams and venues currently sitting on the green-sports side lines. It lays the groundwork for more refined and meaningful green-sports scholarship and textbooks in the future." - Lew Blaustein, GreenSportsBlog.com

"This text would serve students well in an undergraduate survey course on sport and the environment and as a supplemental text for graduate facility management, event management, sociology, and governance courses. Overall, the text offers a much-needed foundational text to promote more robust knowledge of sport and the environment and how to leverage that knowledge to create a more synergistic relationship between the two." - Joyce Olushola Ogunrinde, University of Houston, Journal of Sport Management
"The chapters in this book show the variety of environmental issues and initiatives in sports. While many highlight how sport organization, facilities, participants and supporters still act in unsustainable ways, there is a translation of an abundance of positive examples. I read this volume as one of many signs that sport can no longer escape issues of environmental impact, sustainability and climate change." - David Svensson, Chalmers University of Technology, idrottsforum.org
