Feature Friday with Claire Poole

“On climate change, we often don’t fully appreciate that it is a problem. We think it is a problem waiting to happen.” Kofi Annan

“Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.” Dan Gable

What one word do you equate with both climate change and sports?  I’ll give you a moment.  For me?  It’s passion.  There are few topics that evoke more passionate responses than climate change and sports.  It’s that common visceral response which spurred the creation of an organization focused on building positive environmental impacts through a partnership with sports organizations.

Claire Poole is a lover of nature, football (soccer in the U.S.), and rugby.  Those passions are on full display with Sport Positive Summit and Sport Positive Leagues (links down below).  These are Claire’s efforts to bring environmental changes to both the big stadiums and arenas as well as the fans’ everyday lives.  She’s doing so by making it a competition.  And what sports fan isn’t looking to always beat their arch nemesis?

Join us for an important and lively discussion on this episode of Did You Know That?.
