America's national pastime is going green in Beantown as the Red Sox step up to the plate to make going to Fenway Park a whole new ball game. Under a five-year partnership with the National Resources Defense Council, the nation's oldest active ballpark may vend beer in corn-starch-based cups, serve local, organic food from concession stands, add solar panels, and even initiate a new tradition: a fifth-inning recycling stretch. Sounds like their bases are covered.

As indifferent to baseball as I am, it warms my heart to see the T packed to the gills every game-day.

Biodegradable cups packed into trash bags and tossed into the landfill with mounds of other garbage will not decompose without light and air. Hurray if they plan to capture the biodegradable cups/plates along with the appropriate food scraps for the compost bin.
There's plenty of room for improvement in concession stand food offerings at sporting events. As a CSA member, I'm all in favor of locally grown organic food. I worry that it will not stand a chance next to the hot dogs, chips and junk food that will most likely still be on the menu.
