Various benefits of recycling/composting:

Recycle Your Game is a community initiative with the Victory Project, sponsored by Huhtamaki. This program allows fans to donate lightly used soccer balls and cleats, which will then be given to children in an underserved community through a soccer clinic put on by the Victory Project.

Two donation drives will be held this year where fans can drop off their gently used gear. The only items accepted for this donation drive is soccer balls and cleats.

Carpooling is great for the environment and for your wallet! Here's some fast carpool facts:

• If you carpool at least twice a week, you can help reduce the emission of 1,600 pounds of greenhouse gases by a car each year.
• Car-sharing can save you up to thousands of dollars a year! An average carpooler saves about $600 each month on commuting, depending on the distance covered.
• If everyone carpools for at least one day a week, the traffic on the road will reduce by 20%.
