Lionel Messi has announced a new environmental initiative aimed at supporting the sustainable development of the football industry. “Sport should be not only entertainment but also a means to preserve our planet,” he stated at a press conference dedicated to the project’s launch. This initiative aims to make football more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
As part of the initiative, programs will be created to reduce the carbon footprint of football clubs and leagues. “We want clubs to recognize their responsibility for the environment and start taking active steps,” Messi noted. This includes using renewable energy sources and eco-friendly materials.
The initiative will also involve educational programs for players, coaches, and fans. “It’s important for everyone in the football ecosystem to understand how their actions impact nature,” he added. This will help create a conscious society ready for change.
Messi emphasized the importance of engaging with local communities to create sustainable programs. “We will work with cities and regions to develop initiatives that will benefit everyone,” he said. This will allow efforts to be unified at all levels.
Among the activities planned within the initiative are organizing clean-up campaigns for the areas surrounding stadiums and parks where training and matches take place. “We must care for the places where we play,” Messi emphasized. This will set a positive example for youth and sports fans.
Additionally, the initiative will focus on reducing the use of plastic materials at stadiums. “We want to make football more sustainable by minimizing waste,” he noted. This includes transitioning to reusable tableware and packaging.
Messi also plans to create a platform for sharing best practices among clubs and organizations. “We must share our experiences and inspire each other with environmental initiatives,” he added. This will help create a broader support network.
The program will actively collaborate with environmental organizations and experts to develop effective strategies. “We will rely on the knowledge of professionals to ensure that our actions are truly beneficial,” he noted. This will provide a scientific approach to the initiative.
Messi also urged fans to take an active part in the initiative by participating in environmental protection actions and events. “Each of us can contribute,” he said. This will create a movement supporting sustainable development.
Furthermore, the initiative will introduce an evaluation system for football clubs to assess their environmental achievements. “We want to encourage clubs that are making strides toward a sustainable future,” Messi added. This will motivate improvements in practices.
The initiative also includes developing special projects for reforestation and restoring natural ecosystems. “We want to contribute to restoring nature and creating green spaces,” he said. This will help create a better environment for future generations.
Finally, Messi emphasized that this initiative is not just a step toward improving the football industry but also a contribution to the overall goal of preserving the planet. “We must care for our future and the future of our planet,” he concluded. This will become an important legacy for the next generations.
