Green Steps at The Yoga Sanctuary Studios
Our studios are now plastic water bottle free! Taking action for clean, green power The Yoga Sanctuary is committed to doing our part to help fight global warming and creating a healthier, green environment. We chose Bullfrog Power as our electricity provider, choosing green, carbon-free power. Founded in 2005, Bullfrog Power is a leading provider of 100% green electricity, with service available to Ontario and Alberta residents and businesses. Together we can help clean up our air quality, and support the local development of renewable energy. Electricity generation is a leading industrial source of carbon dioxide, a primary greenhouse gas linked to global warming and climate change. To solve the problem of climate change, we all need to consider carbon emissions and make continued efforts to reduce them wherever possible. We immediately reduce our carbon footprint by choosing green energy suppliers. And we took some simple steps to help our planet... The Yoga Sanctuary uses compact fluorescent light bulbs. Did you know that an ENERGY STAR ENERGY STAR® labelled compact fluorescent light bulb use 75 percent less energy than an incandescent bulb. They use less electricity and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. We also use biodegradable and nontoxic yoga mat spray, air filters, VOC paint and green cleaning products to reduce toxins and pollutants. We have used environmentally friendly paint from Farrow and Ball, Sico and Recycled Paint. We removed our carpets from the change rooms at Danforth as they were off-gassing and we now have eco-friendly tile. Buy a green yoga mat, plant a tree “The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit." ~ Nelson Henderson, Author Harmony Yoga Mats from JadeYogaMats are available at The Yoga Sanctuary. These mats are green, constructed of natural rubber from a renewable resource, tapped from rubber trees. This mat contains no PVC or ozone depleting substances - perfect for the yogi concerned about the environment. JadeYoga, makers of the Harmony yoga mat, has entered into a partnership with Trees for the Future. For every JadeYoga Harmony yoga mat sold, one tree will be planted. We also sell the Halfmoon Eco Mat, a beautiful, environmentally friendly mat with excellent feel and traction. Made of TPE (Thermal Plastic Elastomer) this mat is decomposable, recyclable and hypoallergenic. The closed-cell structure makes for a very hygienic mat by preventing bacterial growth resulting from sweat. It has great traction, is lightweight and because it is decomposable, it must be protected from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays Choose at least one day a week to eat a meat-free
meal Since 1960, some 25% of Central America's rain forests have been burned and cleared to create pasture for beef cattle. It has been estimated that every four ounce hamburger made from rain forest beef destroys 55 square feet of tropical rain forest. In addition, raising cattle contributes significantly to the production of three gases which cause global warming, is a leading cause of water pollution, and requires a staggering 2464 gallons of water for the production of each pound of beef. It only takes 29 gallons of water to produce a pound of tomatoes, and 139 gallons to produce a one pound loaf of whole wheat bread. Nearly half of the water consumed in the United States goes to the growing of feed for cattle and other livestock." ~ VegSource.com By eating a vegetarian meal at least one day a week you can walk more softly on the planet.
