Super Bowl will be green on and off field

Oct. 4 -- Arizona is promising to host the greenest Super Bowl ever. The state´s Department of Environmental Quality is joining up with the event´s host committee and the National Football league to create an environmentally friendly gathering when the big game is played in Glendale, Ariz., next February.

The NFL, for years now, has been incorporating environmental programs into Super Bowl activities. But this is the first time a state environmental agency, a host committee and the NFL are working together, the ADEQ said.

"It will be good for the Arizona´s economy and good for our environment," said Steve Owens, ADEQ director.
