Red Sox Go Green

Our beloved Red Sox go green!

Fenway Park — the home of the Boston Red Sox — has installed 28 solar panels which are expected to save the park an estimated 18 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Energy generated from the project, which is being spearheaded by National Grid, will replace more than one-third of the approximately 3.1 million BTUs used for the process of heating water where the Boston Red Sox make their home, RenewableEnergyWorld reports. The maximum daily solar panel thermal energy production will be approximately 1.1 million BTUs, 37 percent of the current load.

  • It's great that the Red Sox and Major League baseball are stepping up to the plate.

    I'm wondering if they are also greening their advertising, marketing and promotional expenditures. If so I'd love to have someone from the Red Sox participate in the SustainCommWorld Green Media Show conference that I am chairing in Boston on October 1-2, 2008 and share what they are doing.
