From April 3-10, 2014, the Indiana Pacers will be taking part in NBA Green Week. NBA Green Week is just one of the ways the league, its teams and players are taking steps to be more environmentally friendly. Throughout the week the NBA will highlight environmental initiatives including in-arena awareness nights, recycling programs, hands-on service projects and educational curriculum.
The Pacers and Republic Services have once again partnered to encourage fans to "Green Your Routine." Just follow these tips and you will be on your way to reducing your carbon footprint, reusing instead of wasting, and kicking bad habits to the curb.
Green Your Routine Tips:
- Start using reusable bags, as an added bonus a lot of stores offer a discount for using your own bags.
- Instead of buying plastic water bottles, invest in reusable ones. You will save money and help the planet.
- Buy a reusable travel coffee cup too. Some coffee shops give discounts for bringing your own mug or cup!
- Shop online too! Just don’t opt for overnight shipping.
- Try to carpool or use public transportation.
- Bike or walk to places that are under two miles away.
- Park your car in the shade.
