About to years ago, we started the building of a new clubhouse for Athena..
..and because we wanted to make it as sustainable as possible,
we asked all kinds of suppliers to join us.
And I thought that it would be a great idea to share this knowlegde, with other sport clubs.
At the same time I came in contact with Smart City..
..and together we held meetings about Smart sport parks; 
more efficient use of energy, energy generation, biodiversity, waste, healthy food..
..and that led to that we now have solar panels at Athena,
we created all kinds of sustainable measures to save energy. 
But this also caused that we are now experimenting with other sport clubs about healthy food;
there are now solar panels at other sport clubs.. 
..and that we are looking for a better solution for waste separation. 
So it’s a beautiful thing that the sports park management has been thinking with us.
Because of that we now have orange waste bins that will lead to plastic recycling. 
Together with Fruit4Sport we provided a way to serve healthy food in sport cantines.
A very fun thing to do this recent period, 
was to see that a number of students researched biodiversity and the technology to preserve energy in the clubhouses. 
That has lead to a great result wich we can now use with the clubhouses. 
An other thing that I’m really proud of is that we are now in contact with a sustainable energy association.
They we will make sure that there will be nationwide attention so that can exchange this knowledge.
 In Amsterdam we will expand the first steps and work together even more.
In September 2014 we’re going to hold workshops with the children to teach them about energy savings, 
energy generation and about healthy food.
We also offer clinics where the kids will be playing football, athletics and hockey.
So the journey around energy, healthy food and sport for everyone in a sustainable surrounding, will continue.
