I like baseball. And there are times when I actually read the Press Release for the sportscasters and writers.<\/p>\n

Here is what it said in one release<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Going Green: The Indians organization is taking Progressive Field green…In addition to the upper deck Solar Panels, the club is recycling all CARDBOARD, PLASTICS, ALUMINUM CANS & MIXED PAPER used at the ballpark…Both the home and visiting clubhouses area also participating in the program for the first time…All vended cups used at Progressive Field are corn-starch based and decompose after 30 days after usage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So how much trash is left at the end of each game that will not get recycled or will not decompose?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And more importantly, how much energy is getting recovered? I am looking at their list of recycling and I see that glass is missing. This is probably because they do not sell anything in glass.<\/p>\n

They even have a press release<\/a> about their recycling and their solar panels. They power their 400 TVs with solar power. <\/p>\n

Very cool.<\/p>\n

The best part about all this is that I am an Indians’ fan and they won last night.<\/p>\n
