Climate Pledge Arena

Imagine if every bite of food you took came with a "food-mile" sticker – telling you exactly how far your food has traveled to reach your plate. Would knowing the distance make you reconsider your choices? Right now, food-miles make up nearly 20% of global food-system emissions, and as developed nations demand fresh produce all year round, that figure keeps climbing. Enter Molly Demers, our Executive Chef at Climate Pledge Arena! Molly and her team are working to source 75% of their food from within 300 miles of Seattle. That means the menu of 3,000 items including local meat, local produce, and local accoutrements is being served up fresh for every event. The “300-mile menu” and the carbon emissions avoided by shortening food delivery distances is a recipe for success. It’s one reason Climate Pledge Arena became the first major sports arena to be certified net-zero carbon by the International Living Future Institute, an environmental NGO that sets performance standards for green buildings and more. For Molly, to do this at scale is to inspire other venues to do the same; a ‘W’ for the people and a ‘W’ for the planet.

The average professional sports stadium can consume 10 megawatts of electricity in a single event. That’s enough electricity to power 10,000 homes for a month. Five years ago Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena set its sights on making 100% of that electric power sourced from on- and off-site renewable energy. Their dehumidifiers, kitchens, and heat all run on electric power, they offer free local public transportation with every ticket, they collect rainwater from their roof for the Kraken’s hockey rink, and much more. While the arena continues to innovate its way to net-zero carbon emissions they’re also inspiring other stadiums looking to do the same. See how: https://bit.ly/3WYk89G
