Global Sustainability Challenge
MLB and Discovery Education have teamed up to present the Global Sustainability Challenge, an exciting program that features green activities happening at ballparks across the country. As students learn from MLB staff and explore the impact humans have on the environment, they’ll also be inspired to take on local sustainability challenges in their own communities.
