Super Bowl XLV will be green –and that’s not just because the Packers will be playing. In fact, thanks to an expanded environmental initiative, this Sunday’s 2011 Super Bowl is being billed as the greenest NFL championship on record.

A new collaboration between Just Energy, the National Football League (NFL) and the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee will ensure that all direct and indirect carbon emissions associated with power generation at major Super Bowl XLV venues will be offset with RECs. So, for every megawatt of electricity used in the production of Super Bowl XLV, one megawatt of renewable energy will be generated by the Sweetwater Wind Farm located in Sweetwater, Texas, 228 miles west of Dallas.
