Go Green & Get Fit!

Posted by: Tracy  :  in topic: On the Field

You know going green is good for the planet, but bet you never thought about it as a fitness plan!  This is a great way to sneak in some activity for kids and families who may not have a strong interest in organized sports.  Volunteering to help clean up a park, planting trees, growing your own food or setting out on a family mission to collect litter are all great examples of ways your family can save the planet and get some exercise, too!  Did you know that 40% of the car trips in the USA are 2 miles or less?  Why not replace just one of those every day with a walk or bike?  Once you get on the green (hybrid) train, the possibilities are endless- volunteer vacations, bike trips, hikes, the list for family greenness goes on & on.  It’s a great way to stay active, it’s free and it’s just plain good for the world!  You’ll be working hard, spending time together and being altruistic all at once!  So, go save the earth!  Peace, man!
