Sneakers

Running has a bigger environmental impact as one might imagine. As a study has found, a new pair of running shoes typically generates 30lbs of carbon dioxide emissions, 68% of which generated during the manufacturing process. The production of the materials involved, including leather, nylon, synthetic rubber, plastic and viscose, also takes an environmental toll.

Plastic bottles

Not only do plastic bottles have a negative impact on our environment, they also contain several chemicals that may leach into your drink. For example, plastic bottles with code “7” contain Bisphenol A, or BPA, a chemical that is linked to a number of potential complications for pregnant women and the fetus.
