The Philadelphia Phillies' "Red Goes Green" program, launched in 2008, is a comprehensive sustainability initiative focused on reducing the environmental impact of Citizens Bank Park. It features extensive recycling of plastics, metals, and materials, composting of food waste, LED lighting, and the "Home Runs for Trees" campaign in partnership with Asplundh and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.

Home Runs for Trees

Home Runs for Trees, presented by Asplundh and a partnership with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS), is now in its 15th season.

For each home run hit by a Phillies player during the season, a tree will be planted in Philadelphia or the Greater Philadelphia area. Over 2,000 trees have been planted through Home Runs for Trees.
