Seattle Mariners go green
In March, Major League Baseball partnered with the National Resource Defense Council to reduce the league's environmental impact. Each team was issued a Team Greening Adviser, and will be taking steps over the course of season to make their organizations more sustainable. We'll be checking in with a new team every Tuesday to see how our favorite ball clubs are working toward a better planet. Check out the full series here.
The Mariners made a very high-profile move this past Earth Day and played a game that was completely carbon neutral. By purchasing offsets for all emissions produced by the game (including plane flights of the visiting team, transportation for fans and the Mariners players, even hotel accommodation for the visiting team and crew of umpires) and some aggressive recycling and composting efforts, the team was able to cancel out 230 short tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution associated with their Earth Day match up against the Orioles.
But this wasn't the only eco-friendly initiative by the Mariners. In fact, the team has been going green for years -- check out the gallery to see how.
