Think the Everglades deal is a big deal? Check out this item from the governor's press shop heralding the "first carbon-neutral Major League Baseball game in the Southeast between the Florida Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays in Miami."

The game takes place tonight, on the eve of Crist's Serve to Preserve Florida Summit on Global Climate Change.

More than 440 metric tons of carbon dioxide are expected to be emitted
throughout the game -- generated from travel, stadium operations and
lodging associated with the team and the fans expected to attend. This
carbon footprint will be offset by investing in reforestation projects
in the Southeast, the release says.

"We are proud to participate in this first ever Carbon Neutral game in
the Southeast,” said Marlins president, David Samson. “Under the
leadership of Governor Crist, and our local politicians, including
Mayor Carlos Alvarez and Mayor Manny Diaz, Florida has become, and will
always remain, a global leader in these important environmental
issues."

Last November, Florida was home to the first carbon-neutral college
football game between Florida State University and the University of
Florida in Gainesville . The University of Florida , in partnership
with the Florida Forestry Association and Environmental Defense, offset
the more than 1,750 metric ton carbon footprint of the football game by
setting aside 18 acres of rural North Florida land to be managed as a
pine plantation forest for 10 years.
