Storm's Lauren Jackson visits Carter Subaru to promote Green Initative

In response to their commitment to the Go Green Initiative launched in 2008, the Seattle Storm decided to work with the city’s citizens, governments and businesses in an effort to reduce their collective environmental footprint.

On Saturday, July 11, the Storm’s Lauren Jackson made an appearance at Ballard’s Carter Subaru to promote the team’s season and the partnership they have for the “3s for Trees” program. A tree will be planted in the Mountains to Sound Greenway for every three-point shot made by a Storm player this season.

According to a press release the Storm:

“As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, the Storm has implemented several changes in its business operations: using recycled and Forestry Stewardship Council-certified paper in its business operations; providing retail bags for Storm merchandise purchases at KeyArena that are made of biodegradable material; and replacing the team’s printed media guide and press kit with electronic files that are distributed via flash drives. In addition, the team’s fan-favorite Thundersticks are made of biodegradable plastic.”
