Going Green the Green and Blue Way

Going Green the Green and Blue Way

VIDEO: Peter Vanderkaay's passion for his studies led to a passion for the environment. Growing up in Rochester, Michigan, right near the Great Lakes, and spending a significant amount of his life in water, Vanderkaay's commitment to water sustainability is a natural one. In 2009, he teamed up with international charity Blue Planet Run as a spokesperson for the current water crisis. As a national spokesman for Blue Planet Run, the gold medalist leads service events, shares his water sustainability platform and raises money for clean drinking water.

In hopes of building awareness, Vanderkaay has a platform he fervently shares with universities, schools, corporations and other organizations entitled 'Going Green the Blue and Gold Way.' In this, he touches on individual water sustainability, the world water crisis and his experiences as a world-class Olympic athlete.
