As you may already know, all Yogacycled clothing is made from fabric made from recycled plastic water bottles. You may also know that plastic pollution is getting worse every year, that’s why at Yogacycled we are trying to do everything to help Mother Earth one pair of leggings at a time.
“No water, no life. No blue, no green.”
Dr. Sylvia Earle
Back to our first tip, get yourself a reusable water bottle which won’t only help the Planet but also will be good for your health and your wallet. Many plastic water bottles contain BPA, a chemical that causes harm to the female reproductive system. Having your own well designed water bottle will also give you an incentive to drink more water every day. Just refill your bottle with tap water! If you live in an area where tap water isn’t available then invest in a water filter or use one of the many water delivery services worldwide.
Plastic pollution negatively impacts on humans and animals. Worldwide over 500 million plastic bottles are used every year. Plastic in the ocean breaks down into such small segments that pieces of plastic from a one liter bottle could end up on every mile of beach throughout the world. These little segments are later ingested by many water species. Thousands of sea turtles, fish and marine mammals are killed from suffocation, ingestion, and entanglement due to a shocking 8.8 million tons of plastic waste overtaking our ocean surfaces every year. The crazy thing is that if people won’t take any action before 2050 there is going to be more plastic in our ocean than fish.
We believe we can make the world a better place together one pair of leggings at a time!
