The Sustainable Nation Podcast interviews three people involved in the work to bring sustainability to the College Football Playoffs: 

• Roger McClendon – Executive director green sports alliance

• Brett Blumberg Director of Sustainable Events & Analytics

• Ryan Hall - Director of Community Relations at College Football Playoff

Through its Playoff Green initiative, the College Football Playoff strives to minimize the environmental footprint of the national championship game and its ancillary activities. An additional objective of Playoff Green is to create a positive, lasting “green” legacy in each CFP National Championship host community. This past year, the comprehensive approach to sustainability included recycling, food recovery, waste management and other sustainable strategies throughout the event in New Orleans.
