When you go to the gym, you feel a tinge of guilt when I press start on the treadmill? Perhaps release a sigh of exasperation, whenever someone flippantly throws a towel on top of a mountain of laundry just used. Well, now you can stop your cupe and do something! You can easily reduce your eco-footprint in the gym and inspire others-even your gym-owner to do the same.
It is very easy from a find a convenient reusable water bottle. A myriad of companies that sell them in glass or stainless steel. And Yes, it is technically possible to reuse plastic bottles, but really, a lot of options more sustainable and safer are available.
For combing your sweat and tears off the treadmill will make any ol' towel you got lying around your home. For extra kicks, bring a small bottle of homemade, organic cleaner to get that equipment exercise a little cleaner. Now for the shower: consider opting for a organic cotton towel. (Because they support the use of pesticides on cotton crops?)
No, No. Not the color green, but you probably already knew that. There are many ways to wear "green" in the gym. Let's start with what keeps clothes stink. Use a reusable shopping bag, a bag or, heck, even a paper bag. The bag of gym does not need to be fashionable. You're trying to impress? To consider wearing clothing made from organic cotton stuff or something Gaiamfrom eco-friendly yoga and fitness wear line. Everything is made from natural fibres and biological. Trying to find some sustainable shoes? There are a number of shoes made of sustainable materials which-as a bonus-perform with one foot strike (which puts less stress on your body 'n' bones).
It doesn't take much to add some bins marked as recycling. Also, ask them to take into account the people discard old magazines, rather than tossing them in the trash once they have the problem of last month.
No don't pull your BFF around using his weight as resistance. Human power, that we are referring here is derived from your intensity and creates electricity! Now, there are too many of these types of gyms yet but some gyms are making it possible to replace calories burned and power grid. For example, you're in a spinning class, those wheels and grunting along with your fellow workoutees. Whenever the wheel turns, a compact generator turns the movement into electricity and provides again in electric network. Cool, huh?
Ask your gym to recycle old equipment. There are a myriad of programs that recycle old equipment, clothing, yoga mats and rope climbing. In addition, you can pitch in, too! Organizations such as the old ship Soles4Souls shoe for those who need it. Check out all these recycling programs .
A total no-brainer, but sometimes we all need to be reminded of simple things.
