#1: Wearing 'Eagles' Green may start to count.
The Philadelphia Eagles have been picked as the most eco friendly team in the NFL. The Eagles Go Green program is so solid that fans can ride their coat tails and support the franchise. For years, fans have led the green wave by wearing green jerseys, socks, body paint, key chains, hats, gloves, scarves, coats, and even green parachute, or "hammer," pants from the 80's. Basically anything that has an Eagles logo on it. Keep it up!
