LONDON (AP) – Arsenal and Spain’s defence, Hector Bellerin, has so far invested in a shareholder in Forest Green Rovers, the English Fourth Division club known for its environmental activism.

Like Bellerin, Rovers are vegan and the world’s first carbon-neutral sports club in 2017.
Bellerin, who recently raised a budget to plant 60,000 trees in the Amazon rainforest, will work with Vince on a new event to help raise the environmental schedule for football between clubs, leagues and fans.
“Many other people think there is no solution to global problems, yet Forest Green is already doing it greatly, and appearing like others,” said Bellerin, 25. “I’m very excited to be part of the FGR. ” I’ll do it where I can, supporting other people who need to replace the global for the better.
