California League Team is "Goin' Green" Storm to Promote Health & Sustainability at the Ballpark
(PRWEB) July 14, 2007 -- The Lake Elsinore Storm, the Class "A" affiliate of the San Diego Padres, will be the first professional sports franchise to present a promotional night encouraging health and sustainability. On this night the Storm team will be wearing green uniforms made of hemp material that will then be auctioned at the end of the game. The money raised will be gifted to a non-profit that's helping to better our world. There will be a health and sustainability festival held before and during the baseball game. Healthy organic foods will be served at the concession stands, and periodic announcements will be made offering tidbits of information for developing healthy and lasting communities. To conclude the evening, the Storm will shoot off green fireworks.
"The Storm wants to do their part in raising awareness of maintaining a healthy lifestyle while doing all we can to preserve our environment and leave the earth in better condition than what currently exists," said Storm team President Dave Oster. "We are aware of the reports of global warming and the problems that exist with our environment and we want to do our part to help conserve and manage our natural resources."
The team's goal is to become the first professional sports franchise to become LEED certified and are challenging all other sports facilities and teams to become leaders of their communities in setting examples for others in the environmental arena.
Recently, the Storm, with the help of the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, has installed waterless urinals throughout the stadium along with water-saving sprinkler heads in the team's irrigation system. Added Storm General Manager Chris Jones, "The team will save over one million gallons of water a year by implementing these programs. It's amazing how many rebate programs are out there to help businesses save both ecologically and economically. We not only want to promote sustainability, but we want to be leaders in our industry and continue to learn and implement programs in our stadium that will help eliminate waste."
During the Goin' Green promotion, the Storm will also ask local chambers of commerce to collect information regarding local businesses that are currently planning and promoting healthy solutions and conservation programs. The health and sustainability festival will be full of music, arts and crafts, and caring businesses that promote healthy lifestyles and sustainability. Groups representing organic foods and drink, solar power, hybrid and electric cars, alternative medicine etc. are invited to participate in the festivities.
Oster concluded, "We feel this is a valuable promotion that will hopefully gain more exposure toward how we can all work together to make a difference, and help our planet and one another. Everything can be reused and saved. Eliminating waste from our vocabulary will mean we've succeeded."
The Lake Elsinore Storm is the Class "A" affiliate of the San Diego Padres and play their home games at the beautiful Lake Elsinore Diamond.
