Go Green presented by Carter Subaru

3's for Trees

The Storm and Carter Subaru have teamed up to help decrease our carbon footprint by planting trees! Every time a Storm player scores a three-pointer, Carter Subaru will plant another tree in the Mountains to Sound Greenway, the scenic byway along I-90. Last year we planted 363 trees as part of our "3's for Trees" campaign and we can beat that this year. You can help by cheering “3’s for Trees” at every Storm home game this summer. The more 3’s we hit, the more trees we plant!

Stay tuned for more information on special Carter Subaru and Mountains to Sound events later this season.

Number of trees to be planted in 2012:

Number of trees planted in years past:

	Green Sports Alliance It is exciting to see teams across the country working together to improve their environmental performance. Teams like the Storm, a proud co-founder of the Green Sports Alliance, have come up with new programs that reduce energy use and improve recycling.

We need fans, players, coaches and owners to all work together to green our community. Check out GreenSportsAlliance.org or the Go Green section of StormBasketball.com to find out what teams are doing to make it a better world.
