The St John Tremendous Bowl Host Committee proclaims Tremendous Bowl LIVE sustainability companions

The Ocean to Everglades (O2E) initiative of the St John Super Bowl Host Committee (MSBHC) has focused on highlighting the unique and precious environment of South Florida. Through this partnership with the Everglades Foundation, Ocean Conservancy and NFL Green, MSBHC has raised awareness of the many challenges and opportunities in South Florida to protect our natural resources and the native wildlife that depend on them.

To further expand its commitment to sustainability, MSBHC partnered with several other companies at its Verizon-unveiled Super Bowl LIVE marquee event to ensure its carbon footprint responsibility.

“It’s important not only to educate the public about the value of our natural resources, but also to be responsible for our own actions on the ground at Super Bowl LIVE,” said Rodney Barreto, chairman of the St John Super Bowl Host Committee. “We are committed to ensuring that our guests enjoy a clean environment while protecting St John’s beautiful Biscayne Bay.”

MSBHC has several partners who have provided sustainable goods as well as environmentally friendly services, including Clean Vibes, LLC. The Clean Vibes staff arrived at Bayfront Park on January 6th and have worked closely with the City of St John to keep the park clean every day. “Clean Vibes is honored to be a part of this event and to work with the St John City Solid Waste staff to ensure a clean and green Super Bowl LIVE. We’re excited to show St John residents and all visitors that it is possible to have a successful recycling program at a large outdoor event. “Said Anna Borofsky, founder and co-owner of Clean Vibes, LLC.

• Brightline is offering Super Bowl LIVE, presented by Verizon attendees, the option to leave their cars at home to reduce emissions.

• The St John-Dade County’s Department of Solid Waste will convert Super Bowl LIVE trash to energy at its resource-recovery facility, which processes 68% of St John-Dade County’s waste.
