Ocean Conservancy And GOAL Launch Reusable Cup Venue Partnership: 'Protect Where We Play Tour'
WASHINGTON – Today, Ocean Conservancy and its partner GOAL announced the "Protect Where We Play Tour" launch, a partnership across GOAL's network of venues to reduce their plastic footprint by deploying a reusable cup program during concerts and sporting events. The Protect Where We Play Tour will kick off at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, which is hosting Coldplay on June 6-7. Other tour stops this summer will include Savannah's Enmarket Arena for The Lumineers, two nights of Billie Eilish at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York and others. It is estimated that this tour will prevent 1,000,000 single-use cups from entering the waste stream. Bold Reuse, a leading reuse service provider, is supporting the tour by managing all reusable cup operations at participating venues. 'We're so excited about this activation because it's the perfect combination of mission alignment and funding for operational changes. We're grateful for Ocean Conservancy's collaboration and openness to fund tangible solutions that help facilities implement sustainable change, while also elevating their mission. These are the type of win-win partnerships that enable the positive change that our sports and entertainment industry really needs,' said Kristen Fulmer, Executive Director of GOAL. 'With 50% of our oxygen coming from the ocean, whether you live on the coast or hundreds of miles inland, the future of your favorite game, concert, or event depends on a healthy, plastic-free ocean. By tapping into the joy of what it means to be a fan, we can inspire action and create a global movement that protects our planet for the next generation,' said Ocean Conservancy's Chief Brand and Communications Officer Jenna DiPaolo. Select tour dates include: In February, Ocean Conservancy launched the Protect Where We Play Initiative, aimed at rallying sports and entertainment fans to protect the future of our planet, leveraging the reach of athletes, artists, and events to mobilize millions of fans in support of ocean conservation. The program features 'Team Ocean Captains' including WNBA's Napheesa Collier, NFL's Kelvin Beachum, MLB's Brent Suter, Paralympian Ezra Frech, and American ballerina Katherine Barkman. The Protect Where We Play Initiative is the newest Ocean Conservancy program among decades of work to protect the ocean from plastic pollution. Since 1986, Ocean Conservancy has led the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC), mobilizing nearly 19 million volunteers to remove 395 million pounds of trash from beaches and waterways worldwide. Ocean Conservancy has also led advocacy efforts to prevent plastic pollution through policies at the state, federal, and international levels.

Alisha Lehmann sends furious voice note to ex-teammate after dispute over social media
Juventus star Alisha Lehmann has hit back at claims made by her former teammate. Lehmann, 26, has built up a big social media following, having amassed more than 16 million followers on Instagram. It has been previously claimed that she receives a whopping £245,000 per post on the social media platform. However, it has also been suggested that one of Lehmann's ex-teammates has accused her of spending too much time on social media. As reported by GOAL, Lehmann has now hit back at those claims made by her former Switzerland teammate. She said on the Juventus Creator Lab podcast 'Small Talk': "Normally, I don't really care [about online criticism]. But actually two weeks ago, she works in Switzerland for the Euros and stuff, and she is also an ex-player. She did this podcast with a newspaper in Switzerland. "And then she said things that actually hurt me a bit because I played with her in the national team and she went to the newspaper and said things like this. And I thought we were friends, I wouldn't say something like that." Lehmann added: "And I would never say something about another woman. And the thing is, if people have an opinion about my football when I don't play a lot or whatever, I don't care. It's your opinion, it's the game. "Football can change so fast, but if it's about my personal life, then it hurts me a bit. But only from people that I care about." In response, the forward revealed that she decided to send her ex-teammate a voice note. Lehmann continued: "I sent her a voice note and said I didn't think it was OK because you don't understand how my life works. She said that I spend too much time on social, with brands and stuff, and that's why my football is worse so I'm not playing or whatever. "And these things hurt me because if people actually see how much I work, like the players here at Juventus, we train every day, so hard and I'm so professional. I'm never late. "I do everything to be the best every day. And when people I know and who have knowledge of football say something like this, it's just a little bit sad, you know? It made me a bit upset but now it's fine."
