EAGLES GAME NOTES

GO GREEN! PROGRAM
Eagles President
Don Smolenski
The Eagles believe the path to sustainability is a journey, not a
destination, which is why they developed their Go Green! program
in 2003 with the opening of Lincoln Financial Field.
What started with a blue recycling bin under each employee’s desk
has grown into a company-wide sustainability initiative that aims
to reduce the organization’s overall impact on the environment in
a financially-responsible manner.

With the help of partners and fans, the Eagles have been able to
develop a multi-year curriculum and action plan that incorporates
green energy production, recycling, composting, energy efficiency
and reforestation, among other ventures.
The Eagles, who wear the color “green” with pride, view it as their
responsibility to be leaders both on and off the football field.
In March 2012, the Eagles and NRG announced a sustainable
energy partnership, which made the organization’s vision
of clean power at Lincoln Financial Field a reality. When
the project became fully operational in February 2013, it
allowed the Eagles’ home in Philadelphia to be among the
greenest major sports facilities in the world.
