Put a Little Green in the Bowl
Superbowl Sunday is usually one of the best days of the year to score uncrowded surf, short lines on ski-lifts, or an empty climbing wall, but if you’re into watching America’s most popular sporting event, you’ll be happy to know that the NFL is taking steps to make the extravaganza a little greener. NPR’s All Things Considered talked to Jack Groh, the NFL’s environmental program director (yes, there is such a position) about what the league is doing to tackle offsetting the big game’s massive carbon footprint. Check out the interview HERE.
Also, I think I may have just coined a phrase: “Bowlpooling.” That’s when you watch the Superbowl with as many friends possible on one television; thereby reducing the amount of overall electricity used this gameday.
