Many of you are probably just sitting down to enjoy the Super Bowl, consistently the most-watched television broadcast of the year and the impetus behind the second largest day of food U.S. consumption, right behind Thanksgiving. 

Did you know that the NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee sponsored the largest MillionTreesNYC planting to date and that it took place at Rockaway Community Park, right down the street from the sites of NYC reTREEt and Sandy Anniversary Planting?  Have you seen the custom bicycle the mayor of Seattle will send to the mayor of Denver if the Seahawks lose?  Click the links below to learn more, and read about the NFL's community efforts throughout NY/NJ leading up to this epic event.

If you are not that into football, consider going for a bike ride.  You will rarely find clearer streets.

Happy Sunday!
