11 Eco-Friendly Fitness Must Haves
It’s #PlasticFreeJuly, so in the spirit of being eco-friendly this month, we compiled a list of 11 fitness items that are made with the environment in mind!
1. Manduka eKo mat
These yoga mats are made from sustainably harvested tree rubber, which means they are nontoxic because no toxic chemicals have gone into the manufacturing process to soften the rubber.
2. Outdoor Voices
Ready to sweat? Try Outdoor Voices for some workout clothes for any sport. The brand creates both men and women’s athletic wear with sustainability in mind. Their merino wool is sustainably sourced and recycled polyester is made from water bottles. How neat is that!
3. Lou & Grey water bottle
Ditch the plastic bottles from the grocery store! Instead, swap it out for a Lou & Grey water bottle made with recycled glass and biodegradable silicone.
4. Orvis
These trail running shoes are eco-friendly, fair trade, recyclable, socially responsible and created by a brand that gives back. Despite being known for their quality, Orvis was included in this list because of their eco-friendliness. The brand gives back 5 percent of the profits to wildlife and environmental organizations.
5. Boody
Broody is an eco-savvy brand that makes their leggings from organic and sustainable bamboo. The bamboo is only treated with water, meaning no pesticides will touch your skin! And if you didn’t know, bamboo is a sustainable crop making it an eco-friendly option!
