Stories & Beer: Sustainability and the 50th NFL Super Bowl

We hosted our monthly Stories and Beer Fireside Chat on November 18th at the Impact HUB San Francisco – and online via web cam. 

Few things short of religion capture as many people’s attention as major sporting events - with the National Football League's Super Bowl being amongst the greatest spectacles of them all.  In 2016, the Super Bowl will celebrate it’s 50th anniversary at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and the team is already preparing to celebrate.  A well thought-out strategy to “green” the event is underway and, perhaps more importantly, fans are now invited into a sustainability conversation like never before.

Our special guest at this Fireside Chat, Neill Duffy was Co-Chair of the Sustainability Sub Committee and Sustainability Advisor to the Super Bowl 50 host committee! Here's a recap of our conversation.
