GamePlanEarth (GPE) is a week of environmental initiatives established and led by the Ravens to help better the Baltimore community. Through activation, the Ravens plan to make Baltimore a more sustainable city by informing fans about growing environmental challenges and educating them on how to recycle, reuse and conserve. GPE is an extension of the organization's continued efforts to reinforce M&T Bank Stadium's LEED Gold Certification, a designation given to organizations that strive to deliver healthy, environmental-friendly, cost-saving and energy- and water-efficient operating buildings in the community.
