Fenway Park

Posted : September 30, 2009 by Pete, Category: Sustainability

I spent a night recently at Fenway Park, the oldest ballpark in the States, and as I finished my bottle of water, I found myself wondering how many people recycle out of this group of 35,000.  As the Sox work to clench the Wild Card in the American League, I consider what a profound influence this park and their practices have on the environment.  Playing host to 35,000 fans a night for 80 home games a season you can wonder how much is the organization doing to help the environment?

So of course the next day, I got on the website and investigated.  I found that they are rather conscience of their persuasive position.  From Bio Diesel fuel in the lawn movers and solar panels on the roofs to the use of only recycled products for publications and locally grown foods.
