It's Not Easy Being Green

Travel + Leisure Magazine has named its 10 American Green Landmarks, and included on the list is Nationals Park. There were a lot of articles a few months ago about all of its green cred, but one thing that was never mentioned -- and which I'm sure had a lot to do with it landing on the list -- is the fact that the Nats have taken a tacit vow, evidenced by their personnel decisions, to never turn the stadium lights on in October, thereby savings hundreds of kilowatt hours of precious, precious electricity.
