Office Depot and EarthEra Help Raceway "Grow Greener"
To celebrate the launch of "Greener Shipping" and the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, Office Depot balanced the carbon footprint of the Subway Fresh Fit 600 race on Saturday, April 10, at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR). Through its purchase of EarthEra products, Office Depot helped the race "grow greener" by balancing the carbon footprint of not just the cars on the track, but fan travel, race team travel and track operations during the race.
Special Green-Themed No. 14 Race Car
The No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevy Impala driven by two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™ champion Tony Stewart featured a special green-themed paint scheme during the Subway Fresh Fit 600 at PIR (Saturday, April 10, 7 p.m. EST, FOX). The paint scheme included the Office Depot and EarthEra logos on the car’s rear TV panel with a "Greener Shipping" message. Tony Stewart, who is currently eighth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™ point standings, said he was excited to lend his support to the partnership between Office Depot and EarthEra.
