At Sounders FC, we are committed to protecting our planet. As the first carbon neutral professional soccer team in North America and the first carbon neutral pro sports team in the United States, we commit to measuring, offsetting, and reducing our footprint every year. We collaborate with partners to educate youth most affected by environmental justice in King County and empower them to improve community health outcomes. This month, we are teaming up with our climate justice partners at EarthGen to transform Seahurst and Hilltop Elementary Schools into greener, healthier spaces for students and the community. Seahurst and Hilltop, both part of Highline Public Schools, are racially and linguistically diverse, with high free and reduced lunch rates. The campuses function as community spaces for local families, as some of the only green spaces in the area. Unfortunately, the spaces are lacking. At Seahurst, a coarse gravel field dominates the play yard. At Hilltop, the poor drainage system and heavy Seattle rains create a giant puddle which is not conducive to safe play.
