3's for Trees

The Storm and Carter Subaru have teamed up to help decrease our carbon footprint by planting trees! Every time a Storm player scores a three-pointer, Carter Subaru will plant another tree in the Mountains to Sound Greenway, the scenic byway along I-90. Last year we planted 363 trees as part of our "3's for Trees" campaign and we can beat that this year. You can help by cheering “3’s for Trees” at every Storm home game this summer. The more 3’s we hit, the more trees we plant!

Stay tuned for more information on special Carter Subaru and Mountains to Sound events later this season.

Number of trees to be planted in 2011:

Number of trees planted in years past:
2010 - 363
2009 - 154

	Goodwill Goodwill has been re-using, repurposing and recycling the things people no longer need for more than 100 years. Each year, Goodwill’s process of selling and recycling used goods creates thousands of jobs and funds job training programs in communities everywhere. For more information visit www.seattlegoodwill.org.
	Mountains to Sound Greenway The Mountains to Sound Greenway is the scenic corridor along Interstate 90 from the Seattle waterfront over the Cascade Mountains to the desert grasslands of Central Washington. It's a natural gateway to recreation just outside Washington's largest cities. The Greenway includes: Trails for hikers, bikers and equestrians Lakes, rivers, parks and camping areas Working farms and forests Historic sites and museums Forest lands set aside to sustain clean air and water Visit mtsgreenway.org for your copy of "Greenway Adventures," a map of best places to see in the Greenway!
	Enterprise Rent-A-Car Together We Can Turn Any Car Green Enterprise Rent-A-Car and its sister companies, Alamo Rent a Car and National Car Rental, are closing the loop on recycled motor oil. Enterprise has its spent motor oil collected, then refined into Eco Ultra, which they repurchase creating a cycle of re-use that will repeat itself over and over again. To learn more about Enterprise's sustainability efforts, visit www.drivingfutures.com.
	Green Sports Alliance It is exciting to see teams across the country working together to improve their environmental performance. Teams like the Storm, a proud co-founder of the Green Sports Alliance, have come up with new programs that reduce energy use and improve recycling. Last year alone, nearly 60% of the trash produced in KeyArena was converted to compost and over 800 fans carpooled to games. We need fans, players, coaches and owners to all work together to green our community. Check out GreenSportsAlliance.org or the Go Green section of StormBasketball.com to find out what teams are doing to make it a better world.
