Green Cup of Polo

Polo goes green with the `Green Cup of Polo`, a benefit event to raise awareness of environmental issues in support of leading D.C. environmental organizations.

The `Green Cup of Polo` remains the only carbon-neutral sporting event in the greater Washington area. The Heinrich Böll Foundation will join the event as part of the German government's `Transatlantic Climate Bridge` initiative. Together with the Ecologic Institute, the Heinrich Böll Foundation will be present at the German Embassy's own tent, open to all. Both HBF and Ecologic are partners of the `Transatlantic Climate Bridge.`

The event incorporates green principles into every stage of the planning process. It will feature cuisine from the city's top organic and sustainable restaurants and cafes. All proceeds of the event will benefit ACORE (American Council on Renewable Energy), Philippe Cousteau's 'EarthEcho International' und 'Equestrian Partners in Conservation'.

Activities will include two high-paced polo matches, a half-time show featuring music, divot-stomping, and performances by local and nationally recognized equestrian groups.
