using aluminum cans when tailgating is the smartest choice.

WHO: | Joe Cahn, (aka The Commish), Commissioner of Tailgating | |
|
WHY: Traveling in his RV, Cahn brings to tailgate parties around
the country beverages, food and, most importantly, the message that
aluminum cans are the smart container for pre-game parties. The former
owner of the New Orleans School of Cooking, Cahn will prepare and serve
his fabled jambalaya for Alcoa employees and place the first recycled
can on the aluminum can holiday tree (being created by Alcoa employees
as part of the Company′s Month of Service volunteer activities.) The
tree will be displayed at the Carnegie Science Center this holiday
season.
Joining Cahn at the Alcoa pep rally will be representatives of
Pennsylvania Resources Council to showcase 'Let′s Tackle Recycling.?
This Alcoa Foundation-sponsored program has significantly increased the
rate of recycling at Heinz Field by giving recycling bags to football
fans as they enter the parking lots. You′ve heard of 'cornhole?? These
recycling advocates have the world′s largest version of 'Can-hole?
you′ll ever play, making it fun to toss your recyclables where they′ll
have a second life.
This is Cahn′s sixteenth year as the premier tailgating authority. He
has visited every NFL stadium, been to more than 125 college stadiums,
tailgated at nine NASCAR tracks, and mingled with millions of fans. Look
for Cahn tailgating before the Steelers-Titans game this Sunday, October
9, at 1 p.m. EDT.
