The Jets and the Giants go green. Or more green, in the Jets' case.

The New York Jets and New York Giants signed a memorandum of understanding with the Environmental Protection Agency that will make their new $1.6 billion football stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands one of the greenest in professional sports.

The agreement details ways the teams will reduce air pollution, conserve water and energy, improve waste management and reduce the environmental impact of construction on the stadium that is scheduled to open for the 2010 season.

Recycled steel, concrete and aluminum are being used in the building. The 82,500 seats are being made from recycled iron and plastic.
