Jack Groh, NFL's Environmental Program Director, says, "The year 2007 marks our third carbon neutral Super Bowl. We have planted thousands of trees in host cities in the last couple of years, but this is the first time we've added renewable energy credits into that mix. The carbon neutral project is just one of several initiatives developed in South Florida to address the environmental impact of our events. Other projects focus on reuse of materials, solid waste management, recovery of prepared food, and donation of thousands of books and pieces of sports equipment to needy children in the host communities."

"The NFL has taken a leadership role in bringing energy independence and environmental stewardship to the state." Adds Mel Jones, "The 'greenup' of Super Bowl XLI launches FPL's Sunshine Energy[R] program for business customers. Businesses in FPL's service territory now have the opportunity to choose cleaner energy and make a difference for the environment, for energy independence and security, and for solar development within Florida."
