Major League Baseball Swings at Climate Change

Baseball may be red, white and blue, but it’s also global green. The MLB has partnered up with the National Resources Defense Council, an environmental action group that has advised the Oscars, Grammies, and now Major League Baseball on (green) red carpet events. Teams all across the nation are instituting different ecological practices, from energy saving bulbs as field lights to recycled toilet paper, depending on what the NRDC’s Team Greening Program tells them. Other initiatives include no-flush urinals to save water, chemically benign cleaners for the grounds, and computers that track energy use, so if the bill is running too high, air conditioning can be shut down in some parts of the stadium. All this and the A-Rod/Madonna scandal. Welcome to our world, baseball.
