One of the reasons you drive a Toyota is because you are concerned about the world around you. Now, there's never been a better reason to drive your Toyota to watch the Philadelphia Phillies play some good old fashioned baseball.

The Philadelphia Phillies aren’t just the top Major League baseball team in the country. Now, the Philadelphia Phillies have led the charge to help out the world around them. They are the first Major League Baseball team to have joined the “Green Power Partnership” program run by the Environmental Protection Agency.

One way that the Phillies have worked to participate in this program is through sales at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies. At the park, produce that is locally grown, as well as organic foods, are sold. In addition, the park is using LED lighting and putting recycled products to use. Perhaps most impressive is that the Phillies purchased 20 million kilowatt-hours of Green-e Energy, the equivalent to planting 100,000 trees.

In addition to being environmentally friendly, Citizens Bank Park is also kid-friendly. You’ll find, for example, the Phanatic Fun Zone. Here, children can enjoy a play area, where they can rock climb, build their own Phanatic, and enjoy hot dogs and soft drinks for just a dollar.

Be ready to get to Citizens Bank park when the new season starts. Visit your Conshohocken area Toyota dealer today.
