About
Carbon Boot is in partnership with Campaign for Better Transport and Fossil Free Football.
Our mission is simple. With over half of Premiership clubs' trips to domestic away games now taken by plane, we want them to stop.
To stop harming the planet and instead start taking these relatively small journeys by coach or train.
Throughout the season Carbon Boot will be awarded to teams for their 'outstanding contributions to football's carbon footprint', whenever an unnecessary flight is taken.
You can get involved by following us on X @Carbon_Boot and by telling your club that it's time to kick their flight habit.
