The Muny is fortunate to work with partners that
share its desire to become a more energy efficient
and environmentally responsible facility.
Building
aGreenerMuny
Ameren
Ameren
has been instrumental in helping
The Muny upgrade its electrical systems, and
in supporting other energy-focused initiatives,
such as our audience cooling fans and The
Muny’s solar energy installation.
Kirberg Company
The Kirberg Company’s generosity has made
possible the installation of an 80-module
solar panel system that produces 25,000 kWh
of energy each year. The solar array saves
The Muny thousands of dollars in energy
expenses annually while reducing its
environmental impact.
The Muny Fan Club
Harry & Sally Johnston, The Johnston Family
Fund, Mr. and Mrs. William Holekamp, Chuck
and Jan Mueller along with a host of other
contributors made possible the installation of
the whisper quiet fans and the efficient blower
system that now provide our audiences with
refreshing breezes.
Republic Services
Now in its fifth year, the Muny recycling
program recycles a substantial portion of the
waste generated in the auditorium (cups,
bottles, etc.), along with many scenic and
shop elements that would have gone into
landfills. Republic recycles more than 144,000
tons of waste annually in the St. Louis area.
Missouri Department of Conservation
As The Muny’s Official Conservation Partner
and sponsor of The Muny’s Mighty Oaks, MDC
works to remind our guests that while The
Muny’s outdoor setting creates a beautiful
environment, it also supplies cooling shade
and wind abatement that contribute to an
enjoyable Muny experience. The Muny and MDC
urge you to get out and discover the theatre of
nature: always alive and always changing.
Big Shark Bicycles
Many Muny performers and creative artists
now make their daily journey to The Muny
on bicycles provided by Big Shark Bicycles.
As an enjoyable option for our artists, the
bicycles reduce the number of trips required
by our artist shuttles, saving fuel and
contributing to a healthier environment.
Universal Printing
The Muny and Universal Printing, our long-
time show program printer, have joined forces
to move all Muny show programs to recycled
paper. When we use recycled paper, we create
markets for local recycling collection systems,
and are completing the recycling loop. Each
season, more than 350,000 Muny programs
will now contribute to better use of our natural
resources.
We hope you will join us in saluting these
valuable partners.
