Packers To Power Lambeau Field With Renewable Energy To Be Used For All Home Games This Season
The GREEN Bay Packers are getting greener, and plan to buy renewable energy to power Lambeau Field this season, including at the annual Family Night event during preseason training Aug. 3 as well as any postseason play. The renewable electricity costs about 15 percent more than standard power and is generated by wind turbines and bio-gas facilities in the region. Team officials said the recently announced move is part of continuing efforts to make the organization more environmentally friendly. A new recycling program last year is credited with keeping more than 6 tons of plastic, glass and cardboard out of landfills.
