The Padres are green in every conceivable way except color

Petco Park installed a recycling vending machine in Field Level Section 103. Fans place their plastic and/or aluminum bottles into the machine. Every fifth container deposited receives a reward coupon. Here's a list of the different types of coupons:

1 free Friar Frank from any Sportservice concession stand
1 free regular soda from any Sportservice concession stand
1 free Padres promotional item from Guest Service Center at Section 108
10% off Padre Store purchases of $25 or more

They should have another machine next to this one for you to recycle these crappy coupons.

I'm just kidding! Jeez Padres... so sensitive about your green programs.

Here's a picture of the beautiful and talented Chrissy Russo explaining the recycling machine to viewers. She was put to the test as the machine repeatedly didn't work, but she wasn't rattled, she's a professional.

In case you were wondering Petco Park recycles 40% of their trash.

LOL

On the pregame show, when they tried to demo this, it didn’t work, it kept denying all of the recycleables they were putting into the machines.

People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

That is about what I'd expect

I'm no tree hugger

But I like to see this kind of stuff become more common place. I’d like to think PETCO is one of the greener ballparks in the league, but I’m not sure. I’ve just noticed how the Padres offer options like going green on your tickets when you by them online. The Giants have an option where it emails a bar code to your phone.

It's a win win!

Save the World! …and get 1 free Friar Frank… Wow , Sandy really has his finger on the pulse of contemporary culture.
