We try our best to tread lightly. Let us list the ways!! We:

  • Recycle paper, tp tubes, paper towel tubes
  • Send packaging BACK to companies for them to re-use
  • Re-use envelopes, packages, packaging, coupons, backs of paper
  • Use organic cleaning supplies
  • Have rechargable batteries
  • Set the heat on a timer
  • Have eco-friendly ceiling tiles to conserve heat
  • Offer fun incentives for biking, walking
  • Have small class schedule postcards on 100% recycled paper
  • Have a basket for tops of waterbottles so they can be recycled
  • Have re-usable glasses for water instead of plastic water bottles for sale
  • Use roll cloth drying towels in the bathrooms
  • Wash our hands with Dr. Bronner's eco-friendly soap
  • No bags in our four garbages
  • We compost all compostables
  • We shortened our 90 minutes hot class to 75 minutes (15 min X 13 classes per week X 52 = ENERGY SAVINGS!

How YOU can live greener--plastic reduction plan:

  • Buy your yogurt in larger containers
  • Re-use, re-use and re-use your plastic containers
  • Instead of the plastic containers, buy your salad in the bags, rinse out, and recycle the bag
  • Bring your own container for restaurant leftovers OR
  • Ask for a small piece of tin foil and wrap it up yourself
  • When you see excessive packaging, write the company and demand less
  • Buy from eco-friendly companies
  • Take your excess packing peanuts to Kinkos or UPS stores....they love it!
  • Try your bestest and we love you!
