Brooklyn Bowl is 100% wind powered, has reclaimed cork and recycled tire floors, and skylights which helped the venue earn its title as the world's first certified sustainable bowling alley. **Implications** - There are few things in the Brooklyn Bowl that aren't Green. In an effort to save the energy that comes with re-racking downed bowling pins, the bowling pins at the Brooklyn Bowl are attached to recoiling cords that bring the pins back into place.
