Climate Change And Running

Climate change has generated a lot of attention on how we treat our environment. Most people think of running as an environmentally friendly activity. You’re certainly not generating any carbon emissions while you run, but its not as clean as it can be. Think of all of the paper cups from water stations runners discard during the course of a race.
