Global-Spectrum doing the green thing

Global-Spectrum's management of the Philadelphia Phillies' ballpark (Citizens Bank Park) helped make the club/park the envy of all other teams in the league. The team/park have purchased biodegradable supplies, purchased renewable energy and a significant recycling program. The goal was to expand from the 2008 recycling rate of 15% which included 251.16 tons of cardboard/white paper and 95.72 tons of plastic, glass,and aluminum.

In 2009 the team did not just do well on the field, but did well in recycling. The club started in April with a 16% recycling rate which included 179.75 tons of trash and 34.82 tons of recycling. The rate grew through the rest of the season and ended in September with an 18% recycling rate which included 213.64 tons of trash and 37.98tons of recycling.
