Pollution may not be the first thing that comes mind when you first think of Badgers football. But that’s just what folks inside the UW-Madison Athletic Department thought about when planning this year’s Homecoming game.
The contest between Wisconsin and Illinois October 25 has been designated a “carbon neutral” game.
The school is working to balance the carbon dioxide emissions generated through activities surrounding the event by planting trees near Cambridge and buying carbon credits. Money spent on carbon credits goes toward efforts to neutralize the impact of carbon dioxide emissions.
