Chelsea Piers Goes Green
Erica Schietinger, Vice President, Corporate Communications
November 5, 2008
Chelsea Piers has launched a complex-wide green initiative, which includes the purchase of green power, the establishment of an on-site recycling program and making an investment in energy-saving infrastructure improvements. Effective October 1, Chelsea Piers began purchasing 100% green wind power equal to its annual projected electricity usage. This purchase will offset over 13,344 metric tons of electricity-related greenhouse gas emissions, an annual amount equal to taking 2,856 cars off the road.
One of the key components of the Chelsea Piers green initiative is a grassroots employee support program. More than 40 employees are volunteering their time to “Green Teams” at each sports venue and analyzing their business with a goal to “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Reeducate.”
Our green journey is a process – we will not be perfect on Day 1. Our goal is to establish a path for constant improvement. We are excited to be taking this first important step.
