The Nets front office and team are committing to a comprehensive “greening” program for the franchise and have tipped-off a broad environmental assessment of their operations with the goal of adopting sustainable practices in the operations they control. The Nets front office and team are targeting to become the first NBA team to become carbon neutral.

Initiatives will include improving energy efficiency, recycling rates, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and establishing green procurement policies for the Nets use on a regular basis, such as paper and cleaning supplies.

The Nets front office and team are actively engaged in a process of evaluating and establishing appropriate goals for the effort. Specific goals will be announced as they are formalized in conjunction with six Green themed nights at the IZOD CENTER throughout the 2007-08 season and will be expanded up for next season. Each Green themed night will focus on the various Nets initiatives and what fans can do in their daily lives in regards to their personal commitment to the environment.

The Nets goal in creating this website is to educate Nets fans on green issues, show the community our commitment to greening our organization, teach fans how to be greener, and direct them to additional resources where they can learn more about important environmental issues.
