One of the most eco-friendly fitness activities around is running outside and this is the season to do it. The gym and all of the cardio equipment inside require a lot of energy to keep it going, while hitting the trail takes advantage of natural lighting and offers plenty of mileage to cover.

When you’re running, the right eco products can make your workout even more green. Lighten up your carbon footprint with a pair of eco-friendly sneakers. Brooks Glycerin 7 running shoes have laces that are made from 100 percent recycled products. What’s even more impressive is the biodegradable midsole BioMoGo. Traditional midsoles are made from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which can last up to 1,000 years in a landfill! So Brooks added a compound to the new midsole that makes it biodegrade up to 50 times faster.

Brooks says this equates to saving 29.9 million pounds of landfill waste. Sounds like a good reason to switch sneakers to us! By the end of this year Brooks plans to feature BioMoGo midsoles in every shoe and offer the feature to other sneaker brands to spread the eco-friendliness across the industry.
