ABC15 looks into the sustainability efforts of the latest major event in the Valley
PHOENIX — While the Final Four festivities will likely give a big boost to the Valley’s economy, the committee is also making sure it makes a positive impact on the environment.
“It’s really just trying to mitigate that environmental impact. The Phoenix Convention Center has a great relationship with APS. They have committed to providing 100% green renewable energy while Fan Fest is happening during the Final Four. They are providing this through renewable energy certificates,” said Jennie Patel, the head of social responsibility and volunteers for the Phoenix Final Four Local Organizing Committee.
