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.

Just before Valentine's Day, New York City gave itself some love by becoming the first city to pass an Electronics Recycling Law.

It's Resolution time again, and as we all struggle to reform and renew our personal pledges, take a moment to think about how your individual improvements can create a greater worldwide impact. Thanks to our friends at simplesteps.org we have some help for those looking to act a little greener in the new year.
