A More Sustainable Way To Workout
Climate Change And Running
Climate change has generated a lot of attention
on how we treat our environment. Most people
think of running as an environmentally friendly
activity. You’re certainly not generating any
carbon emissions while you run, but its not as
clean as it can be. Think of all of the paper cups
from water stations runners discard during the
course of a race.
Vegan Shoes, Ethical Clothing Brands
For this article, we explore environmentally
friendly sneakers that you can use for any type
of exercise or activity. The brands reviewed are
market leaders in Eco-friendly sneakers. They
each address a number of factors that go into
making the sneaker, including the raw
materials the shoes are made from and the
energy used to make the shoe. Some of the
factors we looked for include:
•
Vegan Shoes: When you hear the word
Vegan, you often think about a diet which
excludes all meat, eggs, diary products and
any other ingredients derived from animals.
A vegan shoe is made without the use of
any animal products and does not involve
any testing on animals. This excludes
materials such as leather, wool, fur and
some glues.
•
Ethical Clothing Brands: Ethical fashion
focuses on reducing harm to people and
the planet. It focuses on ensuring workers
are treated fairly across the supply chain.
