Andrew Ference

NHL Hockey Player, Boston Bruins

I live blue™ because…
I heard a saying when I was younger and followed it. “We do not own the Earth, only borrow it from future generations.”

Why do you care about the environment?
Caring about the environment is natural and only recently people have gotten away from that. Past generations have seen the connection and as things industrialized we’ve lost that.

How has your environment affected your career/education decisions?
I’ve created initiatives that make co-workers more aware of environmental issues and encourage them to limit their carbon footprint to be carbon neutral. This includes using offsets for airline trips during road games.

What are some things you do in your life to protect the environment?
I ride my bike and try to save energy by composting, using alternate transport and using energy efficient appliances.
