Another week and a lot of new things, and some old things that we are catching up on, are being done.
THANKS TO THE GREEN AND GOLD
The Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Public Service planted a tree at Skyline Park in Ashwaubenon. They are donating 25 trees to this Village and about 335 trees throughout the County . . . . possibly more. Why more? Because they are going to plant one tree per first down throughout the entire season.
Packer CEO Mark Murphy told the group on hand at Skyline Park “as the football team racks up first downs, we’ll be adding to the positive environmental impact trees have, while beautifying neighborhoods, providing energy savings and producing cleaner air”. The program is called “First Downs for Trees”.
The Packers are hoping to reduce their carbon footprint by planting the trees, much the same as they did when they increased their recycling at home football games and by purchasing other renewable energy.
In addition, the “First Downs for Trees” program is just one program that the Packers Green Team has been involved in, according to WPS President & CEO Larry Borgard. He said the trees will compliment WPS’s NatureWise program.
