The St. Louis Rams are greening our operations, from recycling and waste reduction to energy efficiency and the use of recycled materials. Since our participation in the NFL’s first carbon neutral game in 2005 against the Philadelphia Eagles, we have been committed to establishing and growing our Green Platform with the intention of identifying authentic opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint.
We currently facilitate and promote single-stream recycling during all Rams home games on our Concourse and Terrace levels, in all of our suites, in the Bud Light Party Zone and at additional key points of entry/exit. In 2008, we began printing our game tickets on recycled paper stock. Beginning in 2012, we offset 100% of the electricity used during all of our home games at the Edward Jones Dome. We also offset 100% of our team travel to and from all away games with carbon offsets.
Similar to our success at the Edward Jones Dome, we have implemented a recycling program at Rams Park, home of the St. Louis Rams. We have encouraged our staff to recycle paper and plastic by offering personal receptacles for office/cubicle use.
We are committed to reducing our energy and waste throughout the season and are Pure Power Gold Certified through Ameren Missouri Pure Power. This means that we will help prevent the release of approximately 342,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, which is equal to taking 30 cars off the road for a year.
The Rams will host our fifth annual Green Game on September 21 against the Dallas Cowboys. As a part of this game, we will offset 100% of the electricity used at the Edward Jones Dome. We will also offset Dallas Cowboys team travel to and from St. Louis and fan travel to and from the Edward Jones Dome using carbon offsets. We will highlight the importance of sustainability throughout the game with a Green Expo in Baer Park prior to the game and in-game features throughout. We will feature a series of events throughout the week leading up to the Green Game.
