All of our internal and external sustainable efforts will be measured, analyzed and recorded at the end of each year to assess our programs effectiveness. We will summarize the overall effectiveness and completion of our action plans. This will provide us with the ability to reflect upon the challenges that we faced in order to make improvements to reach our goals. It will also give us the opportunity to implement planning for future projects and goals to increase our overall efforts.
Comingled Recyclables Baseline: 15 tons Comingled Recyclables Timeline: 1 year (1/1/12 1/1/13)
Cardboard/Paper Baseline: 25 tons Cardboard/Paper Timeline: 1 year (1/1/12 1/1/13) Organic Food Waste Baseline: 35,000 tons Organic Food Waste Timeline: 1 year (1/1/12 1/1/13) We expect to exceed the baseline numbers within the given timeline listed above by continuing to increase awareness, furthering staff education, adjusting behavioral recycling practices and an overall close vigilance of the program. Recent behavioral changes that dramatically impacted our program is separating our paper out of our comingled waste and baling it separately in gaylords. We have also adjusted the way the seating bowl is cleaned up after our games. A first wave of workers is sent through the bowl to pick up strictly recyclable material. Then a second wave is sent through to collect the main stream waste. This ensures proper collection and disposal of all recyclable material. We will continue to report on the smaller materials management programs listed previously as well. Since our smaller programs are more inconsistent and do not produce enough material on a regular basis, there is no further behavior or technology that could be implemented to improve these particular programs due to their limited production of recyclable materials. Some currently developing materials management programs we are looking to continue to expand on are increasing the number of hand dryers in the bathrooms to reduce paper waste, and increase the number of automated soap and water dispensers to reduce soap and water waste. A large future program that we have been researching and are looking to implement is the composting of our organic field waste (primarily grass clippings). The Cleveland Browns will also continue to work closely with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Entrepreneurs for Sustainability and Cleveland Green Venues to improve techniques and increase awareness within the Browns organization and the community. The support from these groups and meetings enable us to gain momentum to increase our projects at the stadium.

Cardboard/Paper Recycling
Jasar primarily handles the Browns cardboard and paper recyclables. The cardboard is baled in a special compactor, and the paper is collected in gaylords. Both materials are collected on an on-call basis. If there happens to be a large volume of plastic items that does not meet our #1 or #2 commingled designation, then a special pick up from Jasar can be ordered as well. For instance in April of 2010 we had hundreds of old plastic garbage bins that needed to be recycled. This accounted for the 97 tons of recyclable plastic material listed below. With the exception of recycled plastic garbage bins, we have been averaging more consistent recycling number throughout the entirety of the year. We should also surpass our highest recorded cardboard/paper tonnage rate since the program began.

Other ongoing projects that will help us exceed our energy use baseline include the replacement of our incandescent lamps to fluorescent lamps in the track lighting throughout the entire stadium (expected to be completed within the next year), and increased installations of motion sensors. These programs will greatly influence our energy consumption at the stadium. We expect to see a large difference in overall energy efficiency.
The Cleveland Browns have also allied with ENERNOC Emergency Load Response Program. ENERNOC is a company that operates globally to help industrial, institutional and commercial organizations manage their utilities to stabilize grid energy. Browns Stadium participates in an on call program that potentially requires us to respond ten times a year to a dramatic scale back in energy usage during peak demand hours (by directly manipulating the operation of our HVAC system). This increases overall grid capacity for the effected grid area. The Browns participation helps protect the surrounding community from blackouts, keeps electricity rates stable, and helps the environment by providing a clean alternative to the generation of more fossil fuelburning peaking power plants. We will track all of our progress through the EnergyStar program online. Listed below are our expect baseline and timeline expectations for our energy conservation and efficiency action plan: Electric Energy Use Baseline: 17,000,000 kWh (Thousand Watt-Hours) Electric Energy Use Timeline: 1 year (1/1/12 1/1/13) Natural Gas Energy Use Baseline: 12,000 (MCF(Million Cubic Feet) Natural Gas Energy Use Timeline: 1 year (1/1/12 1/1/13) We have no current energy efficiency programs set in place to improve the consumption of our natural gas. However, we are currently considering recommendations from recent energy audits and companies such as ENERNOC on technology and programs we are interested in implementing.
Electric Consumption
Listed below are our energy usage numbers that we have tracked all the way back to 2004. The numbers remain consistent throughout the years. As previously mentioned, it makes it extremely difficult to increase efficiency due to a highly inefficient HVAC system that accounts for the majority of our energy consumption. However, we hope to see improvements through our lamp replacement project, the installation of our quick close doors, increased use of motion sensors and our participation in the ENERNOC program.
