S.F. Giants Reflect City’s Environmental ProgressivismPeter Lauterbornbyline‚ Apr. 03‚ 2007Forget the orange and black—the Giants may just be the greenest team in Major League Baseball this year. The San Francisco Giants (who today open their 124th season) will be the first team to install solar panels within their stadium, mount a new energy-efficient scoreboard, offer sustainably-farmed Niman Ranch meat products, and ban trans-fats from all foods served at the ballpark. The timing of these upgrades is timely, as San Francisco will host the 2007 All-Star Game – giving the Giants a chance to showcase their environmentally-conscious choices and encourage other teams to do the same. |
