True the savings are small but the awareness the event raises is fabulous.

Here in Canada where I live another event, the 2009 Canada Games to be held in Prince Edward Island, is doing something similar. The Canada games mantra this year is reduce, reuse, and recycle.

While the event won’t capture and audience as large as the Superbowl did its nice to see. Hopefully, more events follow this example.

Thanks for your comment

If a few of those millions of people decide to take some steps towards their own efficiencies - switching off equipment when they’re not using them, turning on dishwashers and washing machines late in the evening rather than during the day, choosing low energy appliances over less efficient models - then we’re starting to make a step in the right direction.
