In Burlington, the pulse of game night with the Vermont Green Football Club beats with excitement and purpose. As fans fill the stands, vibrant energy fills the air, and a unique mission stands out: to promote sustainability through the love of soccer. The atmosphere in early June reflected not only the island's enthusiasm for watching a good match but a commitment to the planet.
During their matches, players proudly don jerseys made from recycled materials, while fans who cycle to the event are entered into special raffles. Vegan food options from local vendors fill the stands, catering to an audience that values health and the environment. Tom Proctor, the enthusiastic announcer from England, reminds attendees at every home game to help keep the stadium clean. He urges fans to properly dispose of their trash and recyclables with a friendly prompt, “Thank you for pitching in for the planet!” echoing the ethos of environmental stewardship.
As an amateur soccer club, the Vermont Green aims to balance promoting high-quality soccer with making a powerful statement about climate action. Inspired by the Forest Green Rovers of England, often dubbed the world's greenest football club, Vermont Green's founders have woven ecology into the fabric of the team. Their vision aligns seamlessly with the mission of this progressive state, known for ambitious goals to preserve 50% of its land by 2050, while relying heavily on renewable sources for power.
This community-driven approach is a clear indicator that the Vermont Green Football Club isn’t just playing games; they are creating a movement, one game at a time.
