We love looking cute in spin class, but when you own as many pairs of leggings as we do, you start to wonder about the impact of all those workout outfits. That's why we made of list of our favourite activewear brands that are doing their part to save the planet, so you can feel good while you get your sweat on.
Yoga Democracy
Inspired by ahimsa, the yoga principle of doing as little harm as possible, Yoga Democracy makes colourful, printed leggings from recycled post-consumer materials. Their leggings are made from about 12 water bottles and their tops and shorts are made from about half a pound of fishing net. They use a low-energy, zero-water dyeing process and even donate 10 per cent of their profits to environmental causes.
