Follow on Google News | Stephen Ashkin Appointed to Board of Green Sports AllianceThe Green Sports Alliance, which began in 2010, is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to help sports teams, venues, and leagues enhance their environmental performance. Currently, the alliance includes more than 170 sports teams, such as the New York Jets, the Baltimore Orioles, and the Milwaukie Brewers, as well as sporting arenas and facilities serving 15 different sports leagues. “The Green Sports Alliance is a unique organization,” “They have brought together a number of key people and organizations along with environmentalists to exchange information and [help] address [the] Green and sustainable challenge faced by the entire sporting community.” The information gathered from this collaboration is available to Alliance members so they can gain a better understanding of how sporting events can be conducted in a more environmentally sensitive manner. Along with being unique, Ashkin also believes the organization will likely become a powerful promoter of environmental awareness in coming years. “When scientists discuss concerns about the environment, often their thoughts reach just a few people,” says Ashkin. “But when major sports figures or organizations in the Alliance discuss the same issues, they can reach a far larger audience and have considerably more impact. That is why I am proud to be on the board of this organization.” ### Steve Ashkin is available for interviews, presentations, and commentary on Green Cleaning-related issues, sustainable buildings, industry trends, and facility management. He may be reached by calling (812) 332-7950. About Stephen Ashkin and The Ashkin Group Stephen P.
