Fan Go Green Tip of the Week
Your appliances and electronics may be turned off, but if they are plugged in they still use electricity. You can avoid this problem, known as phantom load, by unplugging everything when you aren’t using it: Your TV, stereo, coffee maker, garage-door opener, microwave oven, clock radio -- even chargers for cell
phones and MP3 players.

We're devoted to making operational changes that will protect our environment for current and future generations of Storm fans. For example, the Storm is:
- Recycling paper, glass, plastic, metal and food waste and using recycled paper products whenever possible in our business office.
- Printing our game credentials, business cards, stationery and game night programs on Forestry Stewardship Council-certified and recycled paper.
- Saving paper and trees by replacing our printed media guide and press kit with electronic files that will be distributed to the media via flash drives.
- Ensuring that our fan-favorite Thundersticks, and retail bags at merchandise stands, are made of biodegradable plastic.
