Bridgeport Islanders News Release
Bridgeport, CT -- The Bridgeport Sound Tigers, top affiliate of the NHL's New York Islanders, will host CT GreenScene and youth from the community on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at the Arena at Harbor Yard as part of an international display in support of climate change initiatives.
Between periods of the Sound Tigers game against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, local children will display the number 350 on center ice. This event signals the team's commitment to educating the public about the importance of lessening our negative impact on the environment.
"Global climate change is a reality that impacts everyone and it's going to take everyone's participation if we're going to identify solutions," Sound Tigers Vice President Luke Milbury said. "The Sound Tigers see 350 night as a wonderful opportunity to do our small part to set a good example and to promote awareness of the issues we deem vitally important."
350.org, founded by internationally renowned climate scientists and experts is a global movement taking place on October 24, 2009 involving over 1600 actions in over 120 countries around the world including places like Mongolia, India, Great Barrier Reef, Africa and the Middle East.
"The Sound Tigers have historically reached out to their community in service, and we thought they'd make a good partner for organizing a 350.org event," said Heather Burns-DeMelo, founder of CTGreenScene.com. "I'm thrilled with their support and enthusiasm."
