The Good Game

#WiltshireFootball

Wiltshire FA is committed to making Green Lane Playing Fields an environmentally friendly football facility.

With the desperate need to address climate change, we are proud to be making small changes to reduce our environmental impact. 

We want to encourage our members to join us in taking small steps to positively address climate change, using the influence of football to collectively make a difference.

You can join us and play The Good Game in Wiltshire. 

Do your club the world of good and nominate a Good Game Champion today. We are developing a network of Good Game Champions who fight for change, who ask questions, suggest changes, chat and debate sustainability in football. 

Together for a better planet.

Instead, old plastic from recycled packaging will be collected, cleaned and then remade partly into iPRO Student Edition bottles. This reduces CO2 emissions by up to 70%.
