RALPHIE'S GREEN STAMPEDE

In an aggressive effort to recycle, eliminate waste and cut even more carbon emissions, CU has introduced “Ralphie’s Green Stampede” a zero-waste and carbon-reduction program at Folsom Field to begin the 2008 season. The goal is to move toward zero-waste at Folsom Field during the football season and invest in local carbon-reduction projects to match energy used to power the stadium, for team travel and other football-related energy use. CU anticipates recycling or composting at least 90 percent of the waste generated at Folsom Field this year.

According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency information and other sources, Folsom Field will become the first major sports stadium in the nation, professional or collegiate, to collect all materials in recycling or compost containers, eliminate trash cans and transform its materials collections systems into a zero-waste process.

As part of the zero-waste effort, food service contractor Centerplate Inc. will convert nearly all food and beverage containers in Folsom to recyclable or compostable materials. Materials that can’t be converted this year, such as candy wrappers, will be separated from recyclable and compostable waste. Additionally, to encourage people to ride bikes to the stadium, a special valet bike parking and storage facility will be available on Franklin Field.
