as "green" as Philadelphia's Lincoln Field. My son is a solar installer and
forwarded me this article (link below)...

"The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has helped blaze the trail
through its Greening the Games initiative. Since 2003, when the National
Football League's (NFL) Philadelphia Eagles turned to NRDC for help saving
energy and reducing waste, NRDC has helped dozens of pro teams evaluate
their environmental impacts and make changes. Today the Eagles obtain all of
their energy at Lincoln Field from wind power, pour fans' beverages in
biodegradable corn-based plastic cups, power their scoreboard with solar
panels and have reduced electricity use overall by a third. The NFL itself
has also jumped on the bandwagon, implementing various green initiatives at
the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl and other big events."
SO my question is - if these folks are going to do this have they pointed
any of these features out and talked about what this could do for both
economic and environmental benefits?
Ding-bats, I say, dingbats. Thank goodness, my Legislator is a NO vote.
