Mercedes-Benz Stadium Fans Rewarded for Recycling
Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta is rewarding fans who recycle during games. The NFL is promoting sustainability, with stadiums like Levi's and Lincoln Financial Field leading the way.
Fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium can win a signed jersey and appear on the video board by recycling. This initiative encourages sustainable behavior and follows the NFL's Green program, which aims to leave a 'green legacy' in communities.
The Eagles' vice president hopes the stadium's efforts inspire fans to adopt similar actions at home. Research shows that visible sustainability initiatives can increase the likelihood of fans adopting these behaviors. The NFL encourages this by highlighting the benefits of on-site energy usage and local environmental improvements.
To minimize tailgate waste, fans can use reusable containers and place waste and recyclables in the correct bins. Levi's Stadium in California recycles and composts 70% of all materials, using solar panels and a rooftop garden. Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia has also installed solar panels and created recycling programs to lower its carbon footprint. Mercedes-Benz Stadium diverts 90% or more of its waste from landfills and grows fruits and vegetables for its culinary team.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium's recycling rewards program is part of the NFL's wider commitment to sustainability. By encouraging fans to recycle and highlighting successful initiatives at Levi's and Lincoln Financial Field, the NFL aims to inspire fans to adopt sustainable behaviors at home, contributing to a greener future.
