While working on the EPA’s Greening Sports Resource Hub, I managed a variety of topics for several metro regions. This online database encourages and educates sports and facility managers on the ways they can improve their business practices and in turn educate their fans about environmentally sustainable measures. Through detail-oriented organization, I built my research on topics such as green purchasing programs, water efficiency and waste management onto the organization’s website. I was able to use my best judgment in deciding which information to include in this web database so that it has the greatest potential to support sports venues.
