EcoReps Green Basketball Games
February 4 @ 7:00 pm - February 5 @ 9:00 pm EST
| $15Join the Penn State EcoReps in their annual Green Basketball Games! The first of these back-to-back events starts at 7pm on Tuesday, Feb. 4 as the men’s basketball team takes on the Minnesota Golden Gophers, and the second begins at 6pm on Wednesday, Feb. 5, with the Lady Lions facing the Washington Huskies. EcoReps will be directing fans and sorting waste at these games to ensure all recyclable materials are diverted from the landfill.
Throughout January, EcoReps have also been tracking both teams’ three-pointers. For each successful shot, a tree will be planted throughout Penn State’s campuses during Earth Month in April.
The Green Basketball Games are part of Penn State’s participation in the Campus Race to Zero Waste initiative. This competition encourages colleges and universities to reduce their waste and improve sortation processes. Sustainable material swaps, in-game promotions, and the Trees for Three initiative are supported through Penn State’s partnership with PepsiCo.
