August 4th, 2009 Green Sports Tickets
The Seattle Mariners announced that they will celebrate Earth Day. I didn’t know what that exactly meant, so I went on-line to their home page found out what they have planned for the day. I was completely impressed. So, while I was on their official site, I purchased Sports Tickets, which I’ve never done, but just for the Earth Day event.
Before the game even starts the Major League Baseball is sponsoring the first carbon-neutral game. This includes implementing a recycling program for plastic, paper, if necessary, glass and food scraps. The Mariners have reportedly bought ‘green’ power credits which will off-set a sizable carbon footprint when a game is played. The money is supposed to fund a renewable energy facility. There will be wind farms popping up throughout the entire Northwest. Apparently, on ballgame produces over 230 tons of carbon dioxide! I would’ve never guest that, at all. The reason why is one must consider all the flight travel for both teams. All the ground transportation for fans, all the electricity, especially if a game is at night. The energy it takes to dispose and recycle the waste generated for one game.
At the pre-game Earth Day celebration, the CEO of the Mariners admits buying the carbon offsets isn’t enough, but that it is a beginning. Then the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox was recognized for their environmental installation of solar powered trash compactors at Fenway Park. Plus, the solar panels which will be used for all the hot water used at the park. It was really awe-inspiring to actually see the sports industry take on global issues such as taking measures to help with our environment. I would’ve never in a million years would’ve thought that any sports enthusiast even new we were in an environmental crisis. But, I was wrong and happily so.
