Recycle your game with Wilson's green basketball
While tons of companies are rolling out their token eco-friendly commitments for Earth Month, Wilson been putting the finishing touches on the world's first eco-basketball. The 'Rebound' -- released in time for Earth Day -- is made from 40% recycled rubber and is packaged in an 80% post-consumer cardboard box. According to Wilson, 1 tire is reclaimed from the landfill with every 70 Rebounds that they produce. It's a pretty cool way to green your fitness routine.While I'm sure that sporting goods are a pretty small factor in the global warming picture, it's cool to see the wide world of sports starting to take notice of the wide world of nature. The NBA seems to be lagging behind the baseball, football, and even hockey on making commitments to lessen their impact on the planet. Heck, Shaq has the carbon footprint of a small island nation all by himself. Maybe the NBA should switch to the Rebound?
