With the dawn of a new NFL season upon us, we turn our thoughts to football once again. But is there a way to bring football and environmental causes together? The Philadelphia Eagles say yes.

As part of their Go Green campaign, the Iggles are taking their green uniform colour to heart as new shade of green is making its mark as the team joins the fight against global warming.

Eagles owner Christina Lurie announced that the Eagles will reimburse their employees living in the Philadelphia region and New Jersey for purchasing wind energy, making it the first organization to pick up this type of cost for employees. The endeavor is part of the expansion of the organization’s “Go Green” campaign, which was launched in 2003.

The team has also joined campaigns for revitalizing green spaces and planting trees.
