The Super Bowl means good friends, good times, good food and plenty of beverages. This year, opting for aluminum cans and recycling offers easier clean-up, better and colder beverages, a greener planet and guilt-free football viewing for the 2012-13 season. Recycling just one 24-pack easily saves enough energy to watch your favorite team all season on their way to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. On Sunday, recycling two cans saves the energy required to watch ALL the pre-game, game and post-game coverage of Super Bowl XLVI. Even if you are not hosting this year's block party, you can do your part for guilt-free viewing. Can recycling is such an energy saver that if New York Giants' fans recycled 993 cans, a Prius could travel from Giants' Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Not to be outdone, New England Patriots fans can recycle 1,317 cans to make the trip from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts energy neutral. Aluminum recycling saves 95 percent of the energy and 95 percent of the greenhouse gases associated with primary production. Aluminum cans are made of 68 percent recycled material and are 100 percent infinitely recyclable making it the most sustainable beverage packaging available. In 2010, Americans recycled 58.1 percent of their aluminum cans; let's support this Super Bowl with a 100 percent recycling rate. For hosts, cans offer the best possible option for your guests whether you are serving juice or soda for the kids or the latest local craft beer for the adults. For craft beer lovers, cans are impermeable to light and oxygen that could ruin you beer's taste. They save space in your cooler and require less energy for your refrigerator to cool. Cans chill quicker than other package making sure everyone's beverage is refreshing enough to cool the sore throats resulting from screaming at the TV.
