The Astro-Turf isn’t the only thing that’s green on Super Bowl Sunday.

Super Bowl XLI in Miami is a carbon-neutral event. The NFL will plant 31/2 acres of trees in the greater Miami area to offset the 1 million pounds of carbon dioxide generated. Super Bowl organizers also recycle and donate leftover food, decorating materials, supplies and sports equipment to local nonprofits.
