With Scottish Rail staff currently on strike and not working overtime, many train services to St Andrews have had to be cancelled. The R&amp;A therefore sent out a press release at the beginning of the week explicitly calling for people to drive because they feared chaos at the track stations. In this respect, the attempt to make the issue of mobility at the only major tournament for men more environmentally friendly has failed in the face of reality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l5l8xf8s-13e70b7c9f360bc3830f23f4afc16fe5\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l5l8xf8s-13e70b7c9f360bc3830f23f4afc16fe5 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l5l8xf8s-13e70b7c9f360bc3830f23f4afc16fe5 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l5l8xf8s-13e70b7c9f360bc3830f23f4afc16fe5 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-14169 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-14169 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mercedes-british-open-300x200.jpg\" alt='' title='Mercedes at the British Open'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mercedes-british-open-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mercedes-british-open-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mercedes-british-open-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mercedes-british-open.jpg 1386w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mercedes-british-open-2048x1366.jpg 1385w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mercedes-british-open-705x470.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l5l8ynp4-afc0e3fd220d4ba55d95f3fd435589e9 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>Irrespective of this, the <strong>R&amp;A&#8217;s GreenLinks program<\/strong> is picking up speed overall. After the project for a more sustainable organization of the tournament was launched in 2016, further points have been implemented this year:<br \/>\n&#8211; For the first time, the <strong>greens of the Old Course<\/strong> are mowed exclusively with <strong>electric and hybrid mowers<\/strong>, which are powered exclusively by electricity from renewable sources.<br \/>\n&#8211; The problem of energy supply, which could not be solved at Royal Portrush due to logistical problems, has now been resolved: the <strong>energy for the Open is generated using biodiesel or solar panels<\/strong>.<br \/>\n&#8211; The <strong>ban on plastic<\/strong> in the catering area has become a reality. Whether in the spectator or press area, people only eat from porcelain and with cutlery made from recycled materials. However, this is also a requirement of the Scottish Government, which must generally be implemented at events. In general, however, large plastic bottles for decanting beverages into glasses ec are no longer used at the Open in the catering sector .<br \/>\n&#8211; Up to 70 percent of all products used in catering come from within 150 miles of St. Andrews. Meat and eggs must comply with the provisions of the <strong>RSPCA guidelines for animal welfare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l5kuhuj3-f09f95359e9680b5a4ff3b74f450abe3\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l5kuhuj3-f09f95359e9680b5a4ff3b74f450abe3 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l5kuhuj3-f09f95359e9680b5a4ff3b74f450abe3 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l5kuhuj3-f09f95359e9680b5a4ff3b74f450abe3 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-14126 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-14126 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterstation_open-300x225.jpg\" alt='' title='Water station at the Open Championship'  height=\"225\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterstation_open-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterstation_open-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterstation_open-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterstation_open-scaled.jpg 1232w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterstation_open-705x529.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l5kugcp1-ffac77d882d0ca91ae53086b29c27763 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>&#8211; Mercedes-Benz has converted part of the <strong>car fleet<\/strong> responsible for transporting players, VIPs and staff to e-vehicles, which are also refueled on site.

Donations are also collected here for the Priceless Planet Coalition. The aim is to raise enough money over the course of the Open to <strong>plant 20,000 trees<\/strong> in certified projects.<br \/>\nOne thing is certain: Fortunately, the garbage bins overflowing with bottles on every corner, which were always standard at the Open, no longer exist.
