I love running the trails, it is my happy place but I very aware that running has an impact on our planet. Last year I met the Green Runners and it inspired me to try to do better. I realised that trying to do better is more effective than aiming for “perfect” and then giving up.
I have changed my diet to reduce animal based products.
I have learned how to mend my shoes
I have stopped accepting T shirts at races
I have reduced my use of the car and increased cycling and train use.
I have a long way to go but I have started.
Green Runners are doing a crowdfunding campaign to get their message out to more people like me and help us reduce our impact. I feel this is vital for us all.
Thanks
