Science guy Bill Nye explores the surprising impact that sporting activities have on the environment. Did you know that golf courses suck up two and a half billion gallons of water A DAY? That ski slopes disrupt fragile Alpine ecosystems and that sports stadium generates enormous amounts of greenhouse gases? Just one Super Bowl produces 500 tons of carbon dioxide in one day! But Bill discovers that all these problems are just solutions waiting to happen because people are doing plenty to make our sports stuff greener!
