Baltimore, MD– As Charm City continues to make an effort towards creating a more eco-friendly environment, the Baltimore Ravens follow behind, making contributions. In celebration of Earth day, the NFL team held TheGamePlan initiative, partnering with M&T Bank and Waterfront Partnership for an impactful volunteer event. 

The group participated in a series of eco-friendly, hands-on activities aimed at creating a cleaner Inner Harbor and supporting their Healthy Harbor Initiative. The day brought together approximately 70 volunteers from across five organizations, including Point Field Partners and the Bisciotti Family Foundation as well.

Volunteers spent the morning engaging in oyster gardening, habitat improvement and environmental data collection– all primary maintenance routines that keep Baltimore’s ecosystem thriving. Waterfront Partnership puts work into protecting the Harbor, removing one million pounds of trash and growing one million oysters every year. 

The Ravens support Baltimore’s environment as a whole and make an effort to show that through the projects they do throughout the year. From reducing their carbon footprint to installing approximately 1,000 solar panels on the roof of M&T Bank Stadium, the Flock is committed to building a sustainable future and an eco-friendly environment. 

TheGamePlan initiative benefits Baltimore’s local environment in ways that can be unnoticed. Through M&T Bank Stadium, the programs succeeded in a 56% waste diversion rate through recycling and waste education. The stadium puts a heavy focus on recycling, sustainability and a clean carbon footprint as the Ravens continue to be leaders in the community. 

The Ravens and Waterfront Partnership collaboration has fostered a $3.75 million commitment to Baltimore’s ecosystem and continues to make an environmental impact throughout Charm City.
