According to a story in today’s Waste & Recycling News, America’s major sports leagues (NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA and MLS) are encouraging their teams to begin using solar power. While this initiative isn’t about the greening of mass participant sporting events, it certainly is a step worth noting – and applauding.

The leagues recently distributed a solar development guide produced on their behalf by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) outlining the work necessary for each stadium to add on-site solar power generation to its energy mix.

Kudos to all the acronyms listed above – and apologies for assuming the reader knows what they all mean!
