Additional Environmental Information

Beyond 1st & Green, the 2012 Super Bowl Host Committee is working collaboratively with input from the following groups to plan and execute an environmentally responsible event. We hope to incorporate as much of the following as appropriate for the game and Super Bowl-related activities:

Multi-source recycling
Food rescue
Biodegradable or compostable disposable service ware (plates, silverware, napkins)
Identify eco-minded products where applicable (office supplies, paper, equipment, promotional items, etc)
Use electronic communication tools whenever appropriate instead of printed materials
Printing on recycled paper

Environmental Tips Providers

To date, we have planted 458 trees on our way toward the 2012 goal. Planting trees is a great way to offset carbon while making Indiana a more beautiful place.
