The Greens go to an Eagles vs. Giants football game
Today the Greens are headed to the Eagles / Giants football game at the Eagles new Stadium, Lincoln Financial Field. They won their tickets through an “Eagles Eco-Contest” by collecting more recyclable bottles and cans than any other family during a one week period...the other families weren’t even close. And although they know very little about football or the Philadelphia Eagles... they do know one thing... the Eagles are GREEN! And that was really all it took to get them there. Unfortunately, they have no clue just how lucky they are, because the contest tickets are on the 50 yard line, in the front row, just behind the Eagles bench (Paul: “What a waste!) We join our titanic trash collectors as they walk through the parking lot to get to the stadium.
Ben: Look kids! Everyone is wearing green jerseys! These folks must all be environmentalist like us... I feel so at home… like we’re with “our people”.
Toby: Me too Dad! Wow! Look! Mom is being so friendly to all these people... I think maybe she’s finally catching on and enjoying our eco trips and green way of life! Look! She keeps stopping by to talk to all the people who are out here waiting patiently for the game.
Doris: Dude, you gotta help me! You gotta hook me up! I need a beer in a recycled paper cup. It’s just… well… I mean, you gotta understand my family... actually you probably won’t… hell… I don’t understand my family. Hey! Can I bum a cigarette… gotta get one in…
Ben: Hey Doris! See if you can procure a couple trash bags so we can collect some more bottles and cans as we head in to the stadium.
Doris: (To the guy with the beer) Do you see this? This is what I’m talking about! (she yells to Ben) “Yes Dear… whatever you want Dear. (To the beer guy again) The only thing we’re gonna be recyclin’ is this beer and maybe a chicken cutlet sandwich from Tony Luc’s. Hey they don’t sell anything with tofu or Granola or bean sprouts in the stadium do they? Just once I want a hotdog or a sausage with some kind of unidentified animal by-products in it… maybe with fried onions and a cold, tall beer… uhm, mm, mm. (Yelling) Be right there kids... whatever... Go Eagles.... hey you got any mustard?
Ben: Wow! Gee Whiz! Look at that stadium! Is that magnificent or is that magnificent? And it’s so clean here. I wonder how they do it….
Sally G: Well Dad, look at all the barrels for trash! They even have some for bottles and recycling plastic. You know Dad, I think there must be some kinda special “parking lot” game going on here. All of the people wearing green are smiling and talking but all the ones wearing blue or red have to run between them and let the green people throw stuff at them. Look there! That guy has an entire slice of pizza stuck to his back! I wouldn’t like to be a blue person here. So green is good and blue must be bad... I get it.... I’m just glad we’re green.
Toby: This is really neat, Dad... I was playing football with some guys over there and it was fun, but then they starting saying words I didn’t understand. What does bleep you, you mother bleepin, bleep sucker mean? Anyway, then I started telling them about the ill effects of cigarette smoking, ‘cause they were… ya know… smoking cigarettes, can you believe it? And then one guy says to me “Go long around the bus and head for the stadium and I’ll pass it to you”... but he must have been sacked or something, ‘cause he never did throw it and now I can’t find any of them.
Ben: Don’t worry son, that happens to me all the time at the office. Speaking of finding people, has any body seen your mother?
Sally: Yeah… I saw her leaning over one of the trash barrels. Dad, I really think mom is catching on to this recycling thing... it looked like she was counting all the bottles at the bottom of the barrel. You know Dad, you should probably tell her she doesn’t need to drain every single can & bottle herself... Oh yeah, she said she’d meet us at the seats....
Ben: Ok kids, these look like great seats... we’re in the front row on the 50 yard line and you can see all the players and all that Orange Gatorade... did you know the Eagles use post consumer recycled paper in all of their offices and for all of the tissue paper here in the stadium? And the drinking cups are a corn based product… completely biodegradable. Cool, huh? Man those players are big! I mean really big! Huge! What on earth do they feed them?
Toby: Maybe they’re eating those cups… bet there’s a lot of carbs in those cups. This is great Dad... did you know that the Eagles purchase over 25% of the electricity they need to run this stadium from sustainable and renewable sources? Isn’t that cool? Hey Daaaaad… look up there… Mom’s on that big, huge TV... whatta they call it?... the Jumbo-tron
Doris: Yeeeaaahhh, gimme a B, gimme an E, gimme an E, gimme an R, gimme a (hiccup) BEER!!!... gimme a hot dog too... gimme a green seeing eye dog, cause I’m gonna need it to get back to that stupid, hybrid (hiccup) car... Hey… these football players all got cute butts...gimme a B, gimme a U, gimme a hey! Get your hands off me! Where’re ya takin’ me? Hey!.....
Ben: Hey they cut her off... I wonder what she was going to spell... Hey Son, what happened to your sister?
Toby: Well, she was watching all the EAGLES Green guys drinking Gatorade and throwing their cups on the ground and she went a little nuts… well you know Sally… she jumped the wall and started to lecture number 20, Brian something or other, about littering... I think he was laughing... and ...well then, some police like people came and kinda... took her away...
Ben: Well, it looks like we can enjoy the game now... we’ll pick up the girls at half time... I’m sure the authorities will be happy to give them back by then... I hope they’re keeping them in the same place. Oh well. E - A - G – L - E - S - Eagles!
