Go Green

Through our Go Green Initiative, the Seattle Storm is committed to joining our region's citizens, governments and businesses to reduce our collective environmental footprint.

We're devoted to making operational changes that will protect our environment for current and future generations of Storm fans. For example, the Storm is:

• Recycling paper, glass, plastic, metal and food waste and using recycled paper products whenever possible in our business office.
• Printing our game credentials, business cards, stationery and game night programs on Forestry Stewardship Council-certified and recycled paper.
• Saving paper and trees by replacing our printed media guide and press kit with electronic files that will be distributed to the media via flash drives.
• Ensuring that our fan-favorite Thundersticks, and retail bags at merchandise
  stands, are made of biodegradable plastic.

3's for Trees

The Storm and Carter Subaru have teamed up to help decrease our carbon footprint by planting trees! Every time a Storm player scores a three-pointer, Carter Subaru will plant another tree in the Mountains to Sound Greenway, the scenic byway along I-90. Last year we planted 154 trees as part of our "3's for Trees" campaign and we can beat that this year. You can help by cheering “3’s for Trees” at every Storm home game this summer. The more 3’s we hit, the more trees we plant!

Stay tuned for more information on special Carter Subaru and Mountains to Sound events later this season.

Number of trees to be planted in 2010: 27
