Episode 27: Cory Booker — US Senator, Stanford Football Player, EcoAthletes Hall of Famer
GreenSportsBlog completes its Earth Month coverage with this insightful and fast-paced podcast interview with US Senator Cory Booker. The New Jersey Democrat is a leading voice in the Senate on environmental issues, from climate justice to sustainable agriculture.
Sports played a crucial role in Senator Booker’s life as a football scholarship to Stanford helped catapult him far beyond the gridiron. For these reasons and more, EcoAthletes recently inducted him as the fourth member of its Hall of Fame. He joins Green-Sports pioneer Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, climate scientist and communicator Dr. Katharine Hayhoe and legendary sports agent turned climate advocate Leigh Steinberg in the Hall.
