First Carbon-Neutral NBA Game is Set Tonight in New Jersey

 
Rudy Larini of the STAR-LEDGER writes, "The Nets will be in their home white uniforms, while the 76ers will wear road black. But they will be playing green. The New Jersey Nets and British financial services company Barclays PLC are teaming up tonight to host what will be a National Basketball Association first -- a game in which all of the energy consumed by both teams and their fans in traveling to and operating the IZOD Center in East Rutherford will be offset by carbon emissions credits for energy-saving projects in Europe and Asia."
