"It's Time for Some Trash Talk" is the banner on the opening page for the Philadelphia Eagles'变绿website. Christina Weiss Lurie, co-owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, initiated a Go Green program for their NFL team. By using 100% clean energy on game days and by recycling 100% of all trash collected, the Eagles' Go Green program is the most environmentally friendly program in the NFL and most likely throughout all pro-sport organizations. Lurie explains their motivation for the program, which was unveiled in 2003, "We have always felt strongly that what we do on the field should be parallel with what we do off the field. We also feel strongly that we need to give back to the community."

The Eagles' Go Green website has information about how much carbon a fan burns while traveling to the stadium for a home game; a green calculator; a program that allows fans to purchase a tree in honor of the Eagles; details about the Eagles' Go Green program; and more information about sustainability in general.

Whether or not you are watching football for New Year's Day, Buildipedia's Go Green Channel wishes you a very healthy 2010.

Here is a list of the Eagles' favorite environmental factoids:

* We each throw away our own weight in packaging every month.

* $1 out of every $11 Americans spend for food goes for packaging.

* In just one week of recycling, we can each save 17 trees.

*我们每个人产生每天4.5磅垃圾。

* Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours - just about enough time to watch an Eagles game!

*最后你们ar 54 billion cans were recycled, saving energy equivalent to 15 million barrels of crude oil - America's entire gas consumption for one day! An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now!

* If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year.

*约每分钟5-7加仑的水,一个标准的淋浴喷头用途。使用“低流量”淋浴喷头以帮助50%以上,减少水的使用。他们通常削减流量每分钟2.5加仑,或更小。

* Turn off the water faucet when brushing your teeth! This simple act can save 3-4 gallons of water every time you brush.

* Instead of loading up on bottled water, install a water filter on your home faucet. That $5 filter will give you 40,000 8-ounce glasses of purified tap water.

* A 60-watt incandescent bulb lasts about 750 hours; a fluorescent bulb with 1/3 the wattage will generate the same light and burn for 7,500 to 10,000 hours, lasting seven to ten years!

*如果每个美国家庭替换为ENERGY STAR紧凑型荧光灯泡只有一个灯泡,我们将足够的能量储存到光超过3万个家庭一年,相当于每年的能源成本将超过$ 6亿只,并防止温室气体相当于从公路上减少百万辆。

*发泡胶不能够循环利用。它永远不会解体,不能被制作成新的聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料。今天正在使用的泡沫塑料杯仍将在填埋从现在500年坐着。

*当谈到时间洗衣服,你可以通过切换到冷水降低你的能源使用和清洗成本降低一半。
