To illustrate the relationship of a valuable ecosystem on the verge of collapse to the nation’s well being, the America’s WETLAND Foundation and Women of the Storm are delivering more than 700 colorful miniature footballs to members of Congress, senior Administration officials and media on the Wednesday (02/03/10) before the New Orleans team’s first-ever Super Bowl appearance.
