Going Green Workouts and Food : Get Yourself in Gear

As I educate myself on going green, I figured I'd take you all along for the ride as well.

I've included some links below which include simple and easy ways to have green workouts: 1) use metal bottles instead of chucking the plastics every day, 2) use recycled gym mats, 3) go to a gym closer to home and walk there, 4) exchange/swap used equipment and lots more.

Then there's eating green to save our planet too. 1) How about going vegan? If that's too hard, 2) how about ordering less takeout, 3) compost uneaten food instead of putting it in the trash, 4) buy food in season and buy local?


It only takes a little effort and the results of each individual would go a long way to mitigate the hellish future that scientists and environmentalists are predicting for us. Let's all do our bit for Mother Earth, shall we.

What do you do to make things easier for Mother Earth?
