How Green is Your Bootprint?
Talking Balls Comments
The site boasts that “The GAA and ESB are working together to make Croke Park a cleaner, greener stadium. We need your help to reach our target – so please pledge!” Pledges include not overfilling your kettle, taking the train to Croke Park, or in recent weeks, paddling your own canoe to Croke Park.
Plans are also afoot to reduce the stadium’s carbon footprint by reducing the amount of hot air generated by pundits like Brolly and Rourke, the RTE’s own Statler and Waldorf Muppets; a ban on the ‘burning the hurls’ mentality evidenced by the Derry County Board amongst others and restrictions on training to protect player welfare and thereby reduce the amount of carbon doixide breathed out by players engaged in elite training.
It is understood a new players body, the Green Players Association (GPA for short, but not to be confused with that other crowd) will also be formed to provide leadership. Grants may be available for those players that wear their green credentials on their sleeves. The new body will encourage the use of biodegradable collateral for disposable items such as sports drinks and water bottles, hurleys, wristbands and Tommy Murphy Cup medals.
