Eco-Friendly Workout Gear
By Rebecca Brown
Consumption is not the answer to reducing your carbon footprint, but if you're already in the market for new yoga gear, then consider these green-friendly and less toxic options.
Get the support you need
Lululemon's Breathe Bra ($42; lululemon.com) is lightweight and made with pesticide-free organic cotton yarn. Regular cotton uses 1/3 of a pound of chemicals to make a t-shirt.
Another great option is Go Lite's Siss Boom Bra ($40; golite.com), made of recycled polyester, which reduces the amount of petroleum used.
Top it off
Danskin offers a Y-Back Jersey Tank-Top ($38; danskin.com) that's made with 95% organic cotton. It's free from harmful dyes, and even the handtags are partially made with post-consumer waste.
