Have you heard that the NFL will utilize renewable energy to power this year’s Super Bowl on February 1, 2009?
As a matter of fact, the last two Super Bowls did the same. Can you believe Super Bowl XLI back in 2007 was completely powered by renewable energy?
For the last thirteen years the NFL Environmental Program has made an effort to address the environmental impact of the Super Bowl. It all began with recycling trash, donating unused food to charity, and planting trees. The program has expanded and in the last few years has seen the event powered by Alternative Energy with this year’s sources including solar and biomass sources.
Find out if renewable energy at the Super Bowl is really any good for the environment.
