Earth 911 Encourages Baseball Fans to Properly Disposal of Plastic Bottles
Filed under: Earth 911 - October 12, 2007
Scottsdale, AZ – During last night’s Arizona Diamondbacks game where at least 10 fans were ejected for throwing beer and water bottles onto the field after a call against the home team, there were more issues at play than just sportsmanship and safety.
Hundreds of plastic containers were disposed of in an environmentally-unfriendly way, and Scottsdale-based Earth911.com wants to encourage sports enthusiasts everywhere to recycle these containers instead of use them as ammunition.
Over 38 million water bottles end up in landfills every year, and this plastic can be recycled into products like sleeping bag liners, backpacks and ski jackets.

“Bottle recycling is a major issue right now because of its environmental ramifications,” said Earth 911.com Spokesman Jonathan Smith. “Earth 911.com would like to see everyone acting in an environmentally-responsible way no matter what the situation, and hopes that sports fans will learn from this incident.”
