Houston Astros exchange tickets for unwanted electronics. That combines two of my favourite things: the Houston Astros (OK, maybe I don’t care about the lowly Astros, but I care about baseball) and concern for the environment!
A Major League Baseball team’s offer of free Saturday-night game tickets in exchange for unwanted electronics is a big deal, both in terms of generating greater awareness about the need to dispose thoughtfully of computers, cell phones, and other equipment and strengthening the team’s ‘good community player’ image.
I applaud the Houston Astros (my hometown team) for doing such a thing — holding its first “e-cycling event” — this Saturday at Houston’s Minute Maid Park (formerly Enron Field, but I digress). Let’s hope that other professional sports teams in other markets follow suit and hold similar events.
