Governor Ron DeSantis Joins Miami Super Bowl Host Committee to Launch Super Bowl LIV Environmental Initiative Ocean to Everglades

Posted on April 22, 2019

Governor Ron DeSantis today joined the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee to help launch Ocean to Everglades (O2E), the Super Bowl LIV environmental initiative. The initiative is a partnership between the host committee, NFL Green, Ocean Conservancy and The Everglades Foundation to raise awareness and reduce the environmental impact of the Super Bowl.

“Florida is prime for marquee sporting events and we are honored to host the Super Bowl in Miami next year,” said Governor DeSantis. “However, hosting such an event is a tremendous undertaking with a great responsibility. Preserving our environment is important to many Floridians, especially in South Florida, so I am thankful to the host committee and the partners involved in this initiative for putting a plan in place to ensure that our environment will be safeguarded from our oceans to the Everglades.”

The NFL has incorporated environmental projects into the management of the Super Bowl for more than 25 years. These environmental projects are part of a larger program of community events and initiatives implemented each year by the NFL and Super Bowl Host Committee.

The program aims to reduce the environmental impact of Super Bowl events and leave a positive, “green” legacy in host communities. These efforts include food recovery and distribution, recycling and solid waste management, recovery and donation of event and building materials, urban forestry projects and the use of “green energy” to power events.
