Red Sox unveil green initiatives for Fenway
The Boston Red Sox announced today that the team plans to make Fenway Park "even more green" through a series of environmental initiatives.
The club said it is teaming up with the Natural Resources Defense Council , a New York-based enviornmental action group, as the Red Sox look to improve Fenway in time for Fenway's 100th anniversary in 2012.
Environmental initiatives being explored include a recycling program, improved refuse removal, and the consideration of installing solar panels on some of the ballpark's roofs, the Red Sox said.
"We are not only committed to preserving the history, beauty, and integrity of Fenway Park, but we are also determined to enhance the park's environmental attributes," Larry Lucchino, president and chief executive of the Red Sox, said in a statement.
