recycling just got racy
Lowes Motor Speedway partnered with the local Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation (yes, Anheuser-Busch has a recycling corp) to put out well over 200 recycling containers in the speedway for last night’s big Kasey Kahne victory (and for good).
While I’m in Hickory with my Papa and Marc, I got stuck watching the 600 mile race last night (I successful ignored most of the race by chatting it up with my visiting Grandma). The last 20 laps were outstanding however… who would think a 600 mile race can create drama, but with an ending filled with the lead cars one-by-one having to pit for gas (what a heartbreaking way to end the game… uh… race) and Tony Stewart blowing a tire with only three laps left, Kasey Kahne took it away after a twist after twist last 20 laps.
We called our friends in Chesapeake who love Kasey Kahne to congratulate them, and then I got to see a piece on the local news that the speedway has “gone green”.
Now you know how I hate that cheap phrase, but I have to say I am happy to see advances made in all different industries. It’s a start, and I have to be happy that LMS and A-BRC didn’t resort to the ever-catchy green color for their recycling hubs (that screams gimmick to me).
So crack open a cold one and celebrate the Earth along with Kasey Kahne’s victory. Cheers!
Sustainably yours, Ashley Sue
