Reds outfielder Chris Dickerson has a passion which he devotes himself to on a daily basis. Improving our environment and using his position as a proffesional athlete to raise overall environmental awareness.
His main concern is waste generated by professional sports teams, not suprisingly.
In the minor leagues Dickerson started a recycling campaign amoungst the teams he played for in which he convinced all players to start recycling plastic bottles.
He and pitcher Jack Cassel in the Cleveland Indians organization have come together and founded an organization a website devoted to environmental causes associated with sports, and the world in general.
That organization, Players for the Planet, has had athletes from several sports sign on to the cause, including Phillies second baseman Chase Utley and Green Pay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk.
