Worcester Warriors will tackle climate change in their Premiership home match with Saracens at Sixways.
The Premiership club has labelled Saturday’s fixture, Sunday 30 April, as their first #converttozero match.
Warriors will encourage fans who travel by public transport to go to the game with them.
There will be a reduction in on-site parking. Supporters will need to use the Sixways Shuttle service or car share with others.
They will encourage Saracens fans to travel by electric coaches. The matchday programme will only be available online and will not be available for local or vegan food.
“As a Premiership club we are in a position to lead change by setting an example and educating the large audience we can reach,” said Warriors sustainability lead Gené Willis.
“We aim to educate staff and players as well as supporters and the wider community about the importance of sustainability.
Small changes can make a huge difference. Each visitor to the #converttozero Match should take away at least one small and achievable idea they can use in their daily lives. Together, we can make a real difference.
“This will show that a matchday experience can be sustainable.” We can create a blueprint to show how sports venues and rugby clubs can reduce their carbon footprint during match days.
Warriors was already the first professional rugby club to sign up for United Nations Sports for Climate Action. It is a program that aims to reduce greenhouse gases emissions by at least 45 percent by 2030 and zero net by 2040.
