TIPS FOR ARIZONA VISITORS

Arizona residents are working hard to lighten the environmental impact of their activities. While you are here enjoying Super Bowl, here are ten things you can do to help; brought to you by the City of Phoenix, the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, and the National Football League.

  • Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you’ll save up to 150 gallons per month.
  • Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save up to 4 gallons per minute. That’s up to 200 gallons per week for a family of four.
  • Plug the sink instead of running the water to rinse your razor and save up to 300 gallons a month.
  • Take 5-minute showers instead of baths. A full bathtub requires up to 70 gallons of water.
  • At home or while staying in a hotel, reuse your towels.
  • The average American generates 4.9 pounds of waste daily – much of it can be recycled or composted instead of sending it to a landfill.
  • Put all plastic and aluminum containers in recycle bins for proper disposal. By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean.
  • Aluminum cans are infinitely recyclable with nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced still in use today. In as few as 60 days, the aluminum can that contains your favorite beverage may have been manufactured, filled, sold, recycled, and remanufactured.
  • In 2020, valley residents saved 30 million gallons of gas by using the light rail transit system. Taking the light rail for a five-mile trip rather than a car saves 4.45 pounds of tailpipe emissions.
  • Traveling even once from Phoenix City Hall to State Farm Stadium using public transportation would save 8lbs. of CO2 emissions! (Calculated using ShareTheRide.org)
