Last November, a new initiative was started by Boston Bruins defenceman Andrew Ference to get the NHLPA to go green by going carbon neutral. Because of all of the traveling NHL teams do, Ference and others thought it would be a good idea for the players to purchase 10 tonnes of Gold Standard carbon credits each (worth around $320).

In November over 500 players had signed on, and so far this season another 420 have joined the NHLPA’s Carbon Neutral Challenge.
The program was launched with the help of David Suzuki, and the carbon credits are going to fund solar stove projects in Madagascar, India, and Indonesia. It’s great to see the players counteracting the environmental effects of their travels.
