A group of Kinesiology sport management students enjoyed a weekend of Major League Baseball at Target Stadium while educating Twins fans about the team’s innovative new policy on concessions recycling.

The “Twins GO Green Team” worked the stadium concession and waste disposal areas at the Twins-White Sox games last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, guiding fans to the Organics and Recycling bins and away from the general trash bins. Beginning this season, the Twins adopted a “100% compostable” program for nearly all concessions sold at the stadium, says Dr. Tiffany Richardson, lecturer and undergraduate adviser in Sport Management. She organized the Twins GO Green Team of undergraduate students, who will also be traveling to the All-Star Game in Cincinnati in July to share the same sustainability message with fans there. “The Twins are committed to keeping trash out of landfills, ” says Dr. Richardson. “Almost every item available at the concession stands can be either recycled or composted.”

The hard-working students and their adviser took time out of their busy weekend for a team photo.
