My inspiration for this project came from hearing about the Climate Pledge Arena. This rink has made exceptional changes to create an eco-friendly game. Currently, it is the most environmentally friendly rink on the globe and is making extreme efforts to preserve water as well! The hope is that enough people will contribute in order to create more arena like this one across the United States. While this process will take a large amount of work, this rink proves that anything is possible with enough support! |

¨This transformational project is the most significant private investment in Pacific Northwest sports and entertainment history. In partnership, Oak View Group and the City of Seattle set out to reimagine and redevelop an arena constructed under an historic landmarked roof originally built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.¨

The Climate Pledge Arena shows how the climate crisis does have solutions, its just a matter of taking action. This arena recently made a large transformation that not only benefits the Earth, but also created a beautiful rink for people to all enjoy. The sustainable practices, like the collection of rainwater, demonstrates how it is possible to reuse the materials we are naturally given, and put it towards something for everyone to enjoy! |
Their Goals
1) Carbon Zero - Create the first International Living Future Institute certified zero carbon arena in the world.
2) Zero Single-Use Plastic - We are the first arena and NHL Team to announce our intention to eliminate single-use plastics, which we are committed to being 100% free of by 2024.
3) Water Conservation - Given our location on Puget Sound, we believe it is important to demonstrate leadership in water quality and water use wherever we can.
4) Zero Waste - By greatly simplifying our supply chain we will target a 97%+ diversion rate, which is considered ‘zero waste’ in the industry.
