WORKBOOK #2

Name & Student ID # : __________________________________________________________

Google Doc Link/URL: __________________________________________________________

Workbooks provide opportunities to relate course materials to media, experiences, and empirical works in a personal/reflective manner. Full credit responses meet length requirements, adhere to format/citation rules, and sufficiently address every component of each prompt while citing 2 concepts or quotes from assigned materials. A typical paragraph includes 5-8 sentences. These specifications express the minimum expected, but you will not be marked down for longer replies. Insights should be original, well thought out, and supported by materials. Responses can either be elaborated on in a short essay or as short answers which address each prompts components in bullet point format so long as each is at least 4 paragraphs long. Overall, Workbook #2 should come out to a total of 3 prompt responses, 12 paragraphs, and 6 cited concepts.

When citing materials, only note the author(s), publication year, and relevant page numbers or resource details in the parentheses (i.e. Grazian, 2009, p.222). To cite any concept from a lecture, guide, or slides just include my surname, course number, and the resource or date. Examples: Plaek, 2026, SOC M162 Week #6 Guide; Plaek, 2026, SOC M162 Lecture 2-23-2026; or Plaek, 2026, SOC M162 Hookup Culture Recorded Lecture). You can apply any relevant concept from any week’s materials but do not reuse the same concepts. For example, do not cite halo effects” more than once. You may cite two different concepts from the same resource hence, you can define/apply “emerging adulthood and “principle of least interest” for prompt #3 even though both are drawn from the same resource (Ansari & Klinenberg, 2015). Cited materials are limited to content from slides, guides, recorded lectures, live meetings, and mandatory resources (handouts, readings, videos). Do not cite resources that were supplemental or not assigned. No cover page or References section are necessary.

Every prompt must be initially and entirely written in a Google Doc. Make sure that our access is not restricted by clicking the blue share button (top right). In the “general access” dropdown either select anyone with the link or add me and your Grader in the “people with access” section. Do not delete any of your work until a final grade has been processed by the Registrar. Grade deductions and/or referrals to the Dean may result due to failure to complete all work in a Google Doc and/or if any portion appears to be AI generated, plagiarized, your own work submitted to another class, or insights that we already covered in class (thus not your own).

Type responses directly into a Google Doc that is single-spaced while using a standard font and size. Pages should be numbered and contain 1-inch margins. List your name, student ID #, and the shareable link/URL for your Google Doc at the top followed by your response to each prompt. Directions & rubrics must be removed. Please view the example prompt response in Canvas to see how workbooks and citations should be structured. If theres any prompt youre uncomfortable with, contact me about alternative options at least one week before the deadline. Upload to its allotted space in the Assignments tab of Canvas by Thursday 3/12 @ 11:59pm.

Mrs. Meg Stevens, President Arizona Athletic Grounds 6321 S Ellsworth Road Mesa, Arizona 85212

Re: RWHS & Dual Water Supply System Implementation

Dear Mrs. Stevens,

Introduction: Stewardship in the Heart of the Desert

Arizona Athletic Grounds (AAG) stands as a premier destination for youth and professional sports, yet its location in the American Southwest places it at the epicenter of one of the most significant environmental challenges of our time. Humanity is currently operating outside the Earths finite capacity to sustain life-supporting conditions, and the sport industry is increasingly recognized as a sector that must transition from being a massive consumer of resources to a leader in sustainable urban development. As the President of AAG, you have the opportunity to transform this facility into a global model of “Smart Water City” integration. I am writing to propose a comprehensive infrastructure project: the implementation of an Integrated Rainwater Harvesting System (RWHS) and a Dual Water Supply System.

This initiative goes beyond symbolic “greening”the initial steps of being environmentally responsibleto achieve true sustainability, which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. By adopting these technologies, AAG can mitigate the “environmental cost” of its operationsthe deterioration of natural resources due to economic activityand establish a “Triple Bottom Line” that prioritizes people, planet, and profit.

The Critical Need: Quantifying the Southwest Water Crisis

The urgency for this project is driven by the fact that roughly 97.5 percent of the worlds water is non-potable salt water, and current projections suggest 1.8 billion people will experience clean water crises by 2025. Arizona, in particular, is witnessing the onset of a 50-year mega-drought. Despite these dire conditions, the sport industry remains a heavy consumer of potable municipal water for non-potable needs. To quantify this, a single NFL-sized football field requires approximately 36,000 gallons of water to apply just one inch of irrigation. For a multi-field complex like AAG, the weekly requirements can reach hundreds of thousands of liters solely for field health.

Currently, most facilities rely on municipal drinking watertreated to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Safe Drinking Water Act requirementsto flush toilets and irrigate turf. Treating water to these high standards is energy-intensive and expensive, and using it for landscaping is a waste of money and resources, especially in drought-prone regions like Mesa. Traditional reliance on these “common pool resources” often leads to suboptimal outcomes and resource depletion when individual entities extract units without coordinated conservation strategies.

Relevance to Arizona Athletic Grounds

AAG is uniquely positioned to act as a community leader regarding sociopolitical and environmental issues. Implementing a Dual Water System serves three strategic functions for your organization:

1. Economic Resilience: By substituting non-potable water for irrigation and cleaning, AAG can reduce the cost of municipal water supply and sewage disposal by up to 40 percent.
2. Prestige and Branding: Sustainability is “on the precipice of becoming a mainstream issue” in sports. Leading this movement enhances brand equity and attracts sponsors looking for “good fit” partnerships with socially responsible entities.
3. Public Trust: As sport facilities often rely on public infrastructure and community support, they have a civic obligation to act as stewards of scarce resources.

Exhaustive Research: The State of Sport-Environmental Sustainability (Sport-ES)

To prepare this proposal, I have conducted an extensive review of “Sport-ES” literature. My research indicates that the field has moved from an “embryonic” to a “primary” stage, with a 311 percent increase in scholarly publications between 2009 and 2015. However, critical gaps remain; most research focuses on “inside-out” perspectiveshow organizations impact naturerather than “outside-in” perspectiveshow natures constraints must change organizational logic. Furthermore, there is a paucity of research on “Environmental Operational Countermeasures” and “Input/Output Measurements”.

This proposal fills those gaps by adopting a “pracademic” approachbridging academic theory and practitioner implementation. I have incorporated the principle of “phronesis,” defined as a reasoned state of capacity to act regarding what is good or bad for humanity. By analyzing the success of existing “green monsters,” we can avoid the “purposeful ambiguity” and “greenwashing” that often plague organizational communications.

Success Models: Levis Stadium and Pinehurst No. 2

Our provisional plan is modeled after the most successful implementations in the industry:

• Levis Stadium (California): This was the first newly constructed NFL stadium to achieve LEED Gold certification. It uses 85 percent recycled water for flushing toilets and field irrigation, saving an estimated 42 million gallons of freshwater annually.
• Pinehurst No. 2 (North Carolina): During its $11 million restoration, the facility reduced its irrigated area from 85 acres to 45 acres and cut irrigation heads from 1,100 to 450 by reintroducing native, drought-resistant vegetation.
• European Stadiums: The Wroclaw City Stadium in Poland and MHP Arena in Germany have demonstrated that rainwater harvesting can meet approximately 50 to 66 percent of a facility’s annual water demand, resulting in significant financial gains.

Recommended Course of Action: The Dual Water Infrastructure

The proposed plan for AAG involves the installation of a Dual Water Systemtwo separate, underground, piped water networks. One system conveys high-quality potable water for drinking and food preparation, while the second conveys treated, non-potable water for everything else.

1. Rainwater Harvesting System (RWHS) We will utilize the vast roof surfaces of AAGs buildings and pavilions as catchment areas. Rainwater is significantly cleaner than industrial or domestic wastewater and requires minimal processing for reuse. The system will include:

• Catchment and Conveyance: Gutters and downspouts to direct runoff.
• Storage: Underground high-density polyethylene (HDPE) cisterns or tanks to minimize surface footprint and evaporation.
• Treatment: Fine screens and strainers to remove particulates, followed by disinfection for microorganisms to ensure safety in urban areas.

2. Greywater Recycling and Field Infiltration Recovery AAG can capture wastewater from showers, sinks, and lavatoriesexcluding toilet waterwhich typically has a high volume but low pollution load. Additionally, we will implement a system to capture “naturally filtered” irrigation water that seeps through the field surfaces and into drainage pipes. This water will undergo physical filtration and chemical treatment (coagulation) to make it suitable for re-irrigation.

Policy Tool: Achieving the Date of Ecological Maturity (DEM)

This project eclipses alternatives because it uses the “Date of Ecological Maturity” (DEM) as its primary metric. Traditional “green” buildings can sometimes accelerate obsolescence by encouraging the demolition of older buildings, which increases the total strain on the environment. A project is only truly sustainable if, at a specific point in the future (the DEM), the total throughputs (matter and energy) of the new system are lower than the cumulative throughputs of maintaining the current, less efficient system. Our plan aims for an early DEM by minimizing construction throughputs and maximizing long-term operating efficiency.

Organizational Capacity and Stakeholder Engagement

According to the Venture Philanthropy Partners (VPP) framework, pro-environmental change requires the alignment of aspirations, strategy, and culture. AAG has the organizational capacity to lead this shift. By partnering with local vendors, engineers, and construction companies, we can build a local “circular economy”. Furthermore, by engaging fans through digital sustainability graphics and “fan awareness” campaigns, we can influence the micro-behaviors of thousands of spectators, turning the stadium into an informal educational setting.

Provisional Budget and Economic Rationale

The total estimated budget for this implementation is $3.8 million. This estimate is reasonable when compared to similar projects, such as the $2 million set aside for LEED features at Target Field or the $11 million restoration at Pinehurst.

The financial rationale is based on three returns on investment:

1. Direct Private Return: Payback through reduced municipal water bills and sewage fees, with expected savings of 33 to 41 percent annually.
2. Indirect Private Return: Enhanced “brand equity” and the ability to attract new sponsors who seek to align with “good environmental work”.
3. Risk Mitigation: Protecting AAG against future state-mandated water restrictions and the rising costs of potable water.

Conclusion and Invitation for Oral Presentation

The “Environmental Review” of a sports facility often places it in a “green spotlight,” forcing careful consideration of every message sent to the public. We are confident that this Dual Water System represents an authentic, technically superior path that avoids the “smoke and mirrors” of symbolic accountability.

I would welcome the opportunity to give an in-person oral presentation to you and the AAG leadership team. During this presentation, I can share technical specifications for our treatment modules, our comprehensive data monitoring plan to track throughputs, and our strategy for making AAG the definitive model for steady-state sport in Arizona.

Sincerely,

Julianna Corbett Sustainability Consultant
