Kolkata T20 Team Championing Sustainability Through Cricket
The Kolkata cricket team is trying to be green!
At the stadium, they're sorting trash to keep most of it out of landfills.
They've also started a program called 'Runs to Roots,' where they plant a tree for every run they score.
Last year, they planted over 2,600 trees!
The team is working with partners, volunteers, and fans to make a difference.
They hope to inspire others to help the environment, one run at a time!
Kolkata's T20 team is implementing sustainability initiatives both on and off the field.
The team diverted 84.9% of stadium waste away from landfills during home matches.
Over 35,000 kg of waste were kept out of landfills through various waste management efforts.
The team is planting trees for every run scored, with 2,667 trees planted last year.
Eco-friendly jersey packaging was introduced, reinforcing the commitment to sustainability.
