More than half of the national football teams participating in this month’s World Cup have pledged to offset their carbon emissions through an organic compost initiative in South Africa, the competition’s host country.
The Soil and More project, which has been highlighted by the United Nations Environment Programme as one of the top three best emission reduction projects, operates plants that produce compost for organic farming in South Africa, helping to reduce the environmental problems caused by agriculture including soil erosion, water scarcity and waste production.
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, the Ivory Coast, England, Greece, Italy, Japan, Cameroon, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Nigeria, Serbia, South Korea, the US, Uruguay and South Africa are all supporting the initiative. FIFA, the worldwide football body, has also backed the scheme.
