Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Run.
- Take on plogging
Looking for a way to combine your love for sports and the environment? Try plogging. Pick up litter on your runs and make your neighborhood cleaner.
- Say no to single-use plastic
Staying hydrated on your runs is important, and so is avoiding unnecessary plastic waste. Choose a refillable water bottle and make a sustainable impact.
- Give your old gear a new life
Do your old running clothes or shoes still look pretty decent? Don’t toss them out. Donate them to a charity that collects gently worn items for people in need.
Schneider Electric wants to inspire and enable runners from all over the world to race toward a more sustainable future with more livable, and runnable, cities.
