Swinging for Sustainability: Chicago White Sox Celebrate Earth Day 2024

It’s Earth Day 2024, and White Sox fans are invited to join in commemorating this worldwide movement dedicated to the environment! The organization takes pride in showcasing its ongoing commitment to sustainable ballpark operations.

This year, in collaboration with Our Roots Chicago, a community-driven, data-informed project to equitably create tree canopies across the city, Hall of Fame great Harold Baines and White Sox players Jordan Leisure and Korey Lee joined Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to plant a ceremonial tree and nearly two dozen trees throughout Armour Square Park and the Bridgeport community. The White Sox joined Our Roots Chicago as ambassadors for the effort to help carry out the bold Climate Action Plan of planting 75,000 trees in all neighborhoods of Chicago.
