Eco Friendly Yoga Mats & A Green Environment
Although none of us are Saints, with each day - we can strive to better our environment. . . From using less water to purchasing Eco Friendly yoga mats - see what you can do - today! Take a look at the possibilities below:
Green Festival
"At the Green Festival, we're celebrating what's working in our communities, for people, for businesses and for the environment. Here, green means safe, healthy communities and strong, local economies. Green is the color of hope, of social and economic justice, of ecological balance. Join us for these huge parties with a purpose. You'll enjoy more than 200 visionary speakers and 400 green businesses in each city, great how-to workshops, green films, yoga and movement classes, green careers sessions, organic beer and wine, delicious organic cuisine and live music"
Green Map
"The San Francisco Green Map will connect current and future San Franciscans with their local urban environment and provide practical ways city residents can make more sustainable choices and be stewards of the land on which they live and work.
Many San Francisco residents are unaware of the multitude of projects aimed at increasing sustainability taking place in our city. From the alternative fuel public transit vehicles to battery recycling bins at drug stores to residential composting programs and solar panels on public housing, San Francisco is a hotbed of green activity. With so much going on, however, it is difficult to find one location to learn about all these things. The San Francisco Green Map will provide a single information resource for the myriad local environmental initiatives, programs, issues and services.
The Bay Area Green Business Program verifies that businesses meet higher standards of environmental performance. Our partnership of government agencies and utilities helps local businesses comply with all environmental regulations and take actions to conserve resources, prevent pollution, and minimize waste. We offer motivated businesses and agencies an easy-to-use framework for improving environmental performance. Over 1,000 businesses and public agencies have been certified since 1997."
Eco Friendly - Green Yoga Mats & Yoga Accesories
Be content with what you already have - no need to run out and by an entirely new wardrobe of yoga accesories. Yet when purchasing new yoga clothes or yoga products, consider shopping at a thrift store. And if you must buy new, take into account the longevity factor; think about repairability; and consider durability. . How long will this piece of clothing last? Also, begin to create a wardrobe composed of organic cottom, hemp, wood pulp, soy, corn, and possibly bamboo
Also, t's hard to feel beautiful in your raw silk yoga outfit when it's likely that children's scalded hands were part of the production chain. Search for clothing made under fair-wage and labor practices.. and are good sources of info
Here's a list of good sources for green yoga mats and yoga products:::
Eco Friendly Laundry & Green Cleaning Products
Wear your clothes more than once before washing them. And when you do the laundry - launder a few large loads instead of a few smaller ones. Refuse to purchase conventional detergents, fabric shofteners, and stain removers that contain non-renewalbe petroleum, irritating synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemical whiteners. Chlorine - based bleaches are harmful to trees and tree-huggers.
Here's a list of some excellent green laundry detergents
