The Chicago Bears are to host an “environmentally friendly” NFL match when they host the San Diego Chargers on November 20.
The club are using the match as part of the launch of its “Save Da planet” awareness initiative.
By partnering up with Constellation Energy, the Bears are looking to offset the typical energy use on game day at Soldier Field stadium.
Constellation Energy also will be the energy provider to Halas Hall, home to the Bears’ front office and practice facilities.
The utility company will purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) that will help the Bears and fans attending the event avoid approximately 42 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
“The Chicago Bears is thrilled to partner with Constellation Energy as we launch our ‘Save Da Planet’ awareness initiative,” said Chris Hibbs, senior director of Sales & Marketing with the Chicago Bears. “We thank Constellation Energy for its partnership and look forward to future collaborations.”
Constellation Energy currently offers Bears’ fans and Chicago-area residents a green electricity choice plan that automatically includes 10 percent green energy – energy generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar.
Constellation Energy has been providing electric and natural gas service to thousands of the state's largest employers, schools, hospitals and municipalities for more than a decade.
