There will be organic food, beer and vodka, sustainable materials utilized and of course, the beneficiaries are all eco-focused: EarthEcho International, American Council on Renewable Energy, Equestrian Partners in Conservation, and Live Green. The Capitol Polo Club, where the Cup will be played, has a vested interest in becoming certified green as well.
