In April of 2008, the Phillies launched the "Red Goes Green"
program in an effort to lead the way in clean energy movement at
professional sports venues. In launching the initiative, the
Phillies became the first Major League Baseball team to join the
EPA's Green Power Partnership (GPP) program, a voluntary program
that encourages organizations to buy green power as a way to
reduce the environmental impacts associated with purchased
electricity use. Leaving your car at home twice a week can cut
greenhouse gas emissions over 1,500 pounds per year. Remind your
school system to turn off bus engines when buses are parked to
eliminate harmful exhaust pollution. Check how much of your
electricity comes from renewable sources, like wind, solar. Then
find green power options available to you by using the green
power locater at http://www.epa.gov/earthday/tips-
saveenergy.htm. Commuting without polluting! Use public
transportation, carpool, walk, or bike whenever possible to
reduce air pollution and save on fuel costs.
