By Allison Nicole Shultes
Sons of Benjamin West, a support group of the Philadelphia Union and amateur soccer leagues in the area, and spinoff of The Sons of Ben (Franklin) in Philadelphia, boosted more than just soccer this season. Their newly adopted waste-free tailgating initiative, spearheaded by member Billy Hodges, cut their opening game tailgate’s garbage output at PPL Park in Chester from seven or eight bags to less than one. At an event attracting roughly 150 community members, this impressive cut in trash is a victory for greener partying.
