Foreword: I know being eco friendly isn’t for everyone whether it’s beliefs or pricing, but these are some tips regardless!
-
Reusable bottles of course. This one is basically standard and I don’t think many people these days use disposable ones when working out. This will save money and the environment! I personally like and recommend the flip belt and flip belt bottles, they work for me. Farthest I’ve ran is 4 miles, might be different for higher mileage.

Those rehydration drinks. Stuff like Gatorade in bottles try to avoid! Use the Gatorade powder or your preferred powder brand. Sometimes powders come in tiny plastic packets, try to find big bulk ones like Gatorade.

I’m sure there’s eco friendly outfit brands share some if you know and like them!

Any other tips for people looking to reduce their impact on the environment share them!
As there is a foreword now there is a backward: I know the impact us individuals have is minimal compared to mega corps, but anything is better than nothing! Have a good day and I hope your runs continue to be injury free 😁
I would like to add, that if you can, run to your destinations instead of driving.
The fuel plus you use plus the fuel used to produce and transport the food you need for the run, is probably worse than just driving everywhere.
I like to do this and if it’s too far or if I need to carry a lot of groceries I’ll take my bike with a nice basket.
Likewise, I do a lot of trail running. If you can afford to run to the trailhead rather than drive, or bike maybe, that’s huge! Try to stick to local trails as much as possible.
