Global Sports Alliance

G-ForSE is a project run by the non-profit organization Global Sports Alliance (GSA).
Established in November 1999, GSA's goal is to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society and the development of environmentally aware sports cultures.
GSA is supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
To achieve this goal GSA has initiated the Ecoflag Movement - a global drive by sports enthusiasts to develop a sustainable society and each of GSA’s projects is working to achieve this goal.

Sports-Eco.Net Project

A grassroots initiative to reduce, reuse and recycle’ sports equipment. The tennis ball recycling program in Japan, started in 2002, has already redirected over a million used tennis balls to schools, where they are fixed to the bottom of desks and chairs to reduce floor damage, teach children about the environment’s precious resources and reduce noise (especially effective in schools with hearing impaired children).
