Feel bad for hockey fans in the Seattle area. You want to enjoy a game not get lectured about how you should live or get leftist propaganda.
With Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena set to open this fall, it kicked off a new series this last week designed to explain its plans to become the world’s first net zero carbon certified arena.
“We’re innovating to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions, and investing in nature based solutions to make up for any emissions we can’t eliminate,” the arena said in a two-minute video posted to Twitter.

(Climate Pledge Arena, Twitter) With Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena set to open this fall, it kicked off a new series this last week designed to explain its plans to become the world’s first net zero carbon certified arena.
Climate Pledge Arena hits key milestone ahead of fall opening
“We’re innovating to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions, and investing in nature based solutions to make up for any emissions we can’t eliminate,” the arena said in a two-minute video posted to Twitter.
As part of that effort, an estimated 22,000 tons of steel were saved by keeping the venue’s 44-million-pound roof in place, originally built for the 1962’s Seattle World’s Fair. That roof will be used to harvest nearly 50,000 gallons of water a year to maintain the ice used for the Kraken rink.
Food service will reflect the arena’s carbon neutral goals as well, with kitchens using electric appliances, while bringing in 75% of food ingredients from within 300 miles. And by 2024, the arena has “committed to eliminating 100% of our single-use plastic.”

So called climate change is nonsense, prima facie.
It is central to the nascent totalitarianism to invoke it and maintain fear of it as a substitute religion.
Emotionalism and irrationality.
How much climate change does it cost to run this arena?
And what materials is it built from? Hand hewn logs and wooden dowels/pegs? Delivered by horse drawn wagons? Lofted by block and tackle using hemp ropes? Wooden seating? Hand spun cotton material coverings? Powered by candles? Zero carbon? Hardly. I really don’t like these lying assclowns. Same applies to the ‘erf saving’ vehicles. Remove everything and anything made using any form of “fossil fuels”. Results? An empty space. Ecowankers! Butt, at least they FEEL good about their efforts for a non existent issue.
P.S. Muvver erf don’t give two craps about humans. Or anything for that matter.
How trendy - catching rainwater to make ice for the rink. Fresh water is the one thing we have plenty of here in the Puget Sound area, common sense not so much.
And if you want to watch the Krakens play, you better show your vaccine passport or no entry for you!
They need to instead fear the wrath of God and the BIG CLIMATE CHANGE that awaits everyone who does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Only Way to God Who doesn’t want anyone to perish. . .but we all have choices.
Will they cease selling beer or soda because of the release of carbon dioxide? Or serve it flat in regurgitated paper straws?
Virtue signaling run amok. But it will make Seattle feel better, so...
So fans are not allowed to fart?
they better not be serving carbonated beverages like beer and soda. Carbonated beverages contribute to global warming.
Get your lemongrass smoothies! Lemongrass smoothies here!
How much taxpayer money goes to this fake climate change arena?
Have you ever been to Seattle?
Farting is an art form there.
They regularly have fart concerts at the Seattle Symphony where they, and I’m not making this up, fart in harmony.
Correct. And don’t even think about bringing your pet cow!!
I wonder if there will be pictures of Elvis and Kurt Russell in the lobby. Naw, too White.
Will the fans have to leave the arena to exhale?
Climate Pledge Arena?
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha.
That is sooooooooo Seattle.
Boeing, you’re in enough trouble already. Get your butts out of that third world city and get to someplace where the people who vote are actually capable of reading.
I quiver with anticipation.......
Which means they will buy “indulgences” from others. What a sacrifice!
