Sports Stars Team up to Promote Recycling, Climate Change Action

Chances are you’ve seen most of them on ESPN.

From the sport of baseball, superstars Chase Utley, CJ Wilson, Russell Martin, and more.

From American football: the Packers’ AJ Hawk, the Chiefs’ Matt Cassell, the Lions’ Ryan Nece, and more.

Plus softball pitcher Cat Osterman, footballer Alecko Eskandarian, ice hockey star George Parros, and more.

They’re all part of a group called “Players for the Planet,” while their exploits on the field attract far wider attention, the fact is they’re also making a difference when it comes to promoting recycling and taking action against climate change.

Players for the Planet supports kids making an environmental difference. It also tried to educate people about the advantages of solar and other green energy sources.
