Federer wins again! And so does Serena, the Bryan twins, and more!

The US Open finished up last night with the Men's Singles bout between Roger Federer and Andy Murray. If you had the chance to venture out to Queens to see any of this year's matches you may have noticed a few additions to the American Express or Evian booths. Thanks to a multi-year partnership between the NRDC and the USTA, the U.S. Open reworked its operations to allow for some eco-friendly initiatives. From specially designed organic tees, to renewable wind power and napkins made from 90% post consumer content, the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center took a stab at decreasing their carbon footprint while increasing their stance as a champion for the environment within the sports world.

We're in the dog days of summer so while you're listless, lying prostrate in the haze that is the end of summer, lift your head and squint at your computer screen for a minute and check out a great new website called GreenPaws.

Thanks to three years of hard work with the NRDC, the Boston Red Sox can now boast to not only one of the oldest ballparks in the country, but also one of the most sustainable. With solar powered trash compactors, recycled paper media guides and programs, a Green Team to collect bottles and cups from fans, and ARAMARK concessions providing recycled paper supplies and locally grown and organic produce, Fenway can now provide one more excuse for Sox fans to cheer.
