I have to say I am shocked, I thought we would be top being the Capital of all things Green.
Lookout we will be in for a hard time from Lucas and co.

It looks as though we only missed out on the top spot, as a result of not having a sustainability or environment page on our website!

Not seen such Bravery!
I was absolutely convinced that the firestarters would have been bottom of the league by a long way.
They got extra points for recycling Roy Hodgson.

I would hope the roof at the Amex will be fitted with semi-transparent solar panels in the years to come.

There have to be a number of ways to increase our sustainability.
1. Rainwater capture and re-use. The Amex must use a lot of water, and rainwater capture from the roof etc could be used to water the pitch at the very least.
2. Solar power - there is a lot of opportunity to generate electricity at the Amex and training ground, which could be used at that time, or more sustainably stored on-site via battery technology and used later. Perhaps a dedicated parking area for EVs at the ground (with maybe charge points) would be a good idea as well.
I don't see huge opportunities re travel as we must have a high % of mass transport use already, especially compared to other clubs.
Recycling - from what I see at the ground most of the vending materials are recyclable - the cups, although plastic are collected, as are the paper wrapper on the food. I don't recall any strofoam / polystyrene usage with the food. Perhaps multi use cups is a change that might help.

We will go one step further than that:
NO cups at all. The beer will be poured into your cupped hands (like taking water from a tap) and you drink from there.
God help us when the clapping starts though

That's why they want to ban clapping, although Jazz hands will also be tricky.
Why not have 'beer fountains' like the water fountains you get at schools, just pour the drink of your choice straight into your mouth (or other receptacle)

I think you're onto something there.
I'd applaud that, but my beer will go everywhere.
What manner of IDIOT, produced that table!?
We are below 4 clubs, thus (joint) fifth.
Palace are below 18 clubs, thus NINETEENTH, rather than 'seventh'.
Nonsense.
EDIT - the table in the actual BBC link has the rankings CORRECT, now.

The BBC merely copied the idiot who produced the original table they worked from >>> https://www.sportpositivesummit.com/epl-sustainability-table/

The appointment of Green Potter was a master stroke.
I don't understand why we've not introduced multi use cups and/or a deposit system yet. Seems to me one of the easiest things to sort out...
Also, think the bins on the concourses are not very clearly labelled. Seem to recall it's general waste and dry/mixed recycling or something as the two options. Not clear what can go in which bin. Again surely an easy and relatively low cost one to fix with options for paper, plastic, food waste etc..
Overall though, what a surprise to see Palace near the bottom...

I presume that the multi-use cup is a non starter because you won't be able to take the cup to your seat.
