Baseball Moment

A reader of Sierra Magazine wrote in to ask how to root for the home team, the Giants, and still be green, since so much litter is produced by the vendors and fans.

The answer to her question was that they recycle more than 1,760 tons of food scraps, cardboard, and bottles annually. That is more than half of all the waste generated. The result is a savings for the team af about $100,000 a year in disposal costs.

And, if you are an Athletics fan, your team does even better. They have introduced compostable cups, utensils, and food containers for you, for which, they should be applauded.
