Скачать или смотреть Sport, Environment & Sustainability: Is ‘Sustainable Sport’ Always ‘Environmentally Friendly’ Sport?

Brian Wilson, Professor in Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia, Director of UBC Kinesiology's Centre for Sport and Sustainability, and a member of the Mobilizing Sport and Sustainability Collective, explores links between sport, environmental issues, and the oft-used (but quite ambiguous!) term 'sustainability' -- focusing especially on the question, "is 'sustainable sport’ always ‘environmentally friendly’ sport"? Brian is a sociologist, with interests in relationships between sport, environmental issues, peace, and media.
