If you have been wondering why the Bulls, Bobcats and Nuggets have been wearing green uniforms during the past few days like I have, here is your answer. It's all part of the NBA's Green Week 2009, which includes a number of activities, with the most noticeable (by the viewer) being the green uniforms.
The NBA is taking steps to become a more environmentally-friendly organization and will continue to explore ways of improving in this area. NBA Green Week 2009 serves as a reminder for fans that each of us can help to reduce our envirnomental footprint and that every bit helps. The NBA has partnered with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for the first-ever NBA Green Week 2009, tipping off on April 2-10, in an effort to generate awareness and funds for protecting the environment.
These uniforms and socks made from 45 percent organic cotton during select home games throughout the week.
Do you think that campaigns like these will truly help make people more environmentally aware and friendly in their daily actions and purchase trends?
