Here’s a cool way to be more eco-friendly when you go to the gym. Gaiam’s Everything Fits Gym Bag is made from 100% recycled polyester. And at a large size of 18″ X 8.5″ X 13″ you’ll have enough room for all of your gym gear–there’s an outside pocket for your reusable water bottle (like Sigg’s “I am Not Plastic” bottle), a vented compartment for sweaty stuff or your bamboo gym towel and straps on the bottom to secure your yoga mat (try one made from natural rubber and recycled materials). Now while you’re getting fit, you’re helping keep the planet fit too.

I love this new twist on the old green grocery bag idea–the I Heart NY t-shirt meets an eco tote. Brilliant!

Each Tbag shopping bag is made out of recycled or irregular t-shirts. It even folds up compactly into an inner pocket made out of a t-shirt sleeve. So you’re eliminating the need for plastic grocery bags and giving new life to a used t-shirt all at the same time. And at only $10 it’s certainly a bag worth buying.

I recently discovered a new brand of eco-friendly t-shirts and loungewear called Me to We Style. The line is produced in Canada sweatshop-free. And beyond being green, Me to We Style donates 50% of their profits to Free the Children to support developmental projects in rural and impoverished areas around the world.

I’m a fan of their Be the Change tee. You’re doing your part by wearing a tee made out of eco-friendly materials–certified organic cotton, bamboo, recycled polyester or a combo depending on the color you choose–and you’re showcasing an inspiring message all at the same time. I can also tell you that it’s super soft, fits perfectly and is now in frequent rotation in my gym wardrobe.

I know that going to the gym isn’t always a green choice. In fact, sometimes I feel like my sneakers are making big fat carbon footprints the second I walk in the door. I toss single-use razors and use up to three towels that have to be washed and dried, not to mention the fact that I’m running on electrically powered treadmills when I could hit the pavement.

But one new gym that I frequent was built to be more eco-friendly than your average fitness facility. The Equinox in Chelsea uses low-flow shower heads and low energy/high output lighting. For construction, the club used renewable cork and bamboo from sustainably managed forests as well as recycled materials like mosaic glass and ceramic tiles.

They also improved the indoor air quality with their green advances, which I think is a no-brainer for a place where everyone is huffing and puffing. Wood products are formaldehyde-free and the paints and sealants used were free of hazardous fumes. Equinox also installed high-performance air filters and my favorite part—a wall of live greenery, which cleans the air, creates a natural sound barrier and looks amazing.
