The Green Athlete
Here is a very cool blog I found via the Treehugger forum:
The Green Athlete is a blog by Chris Lieto, three-time Ironman Champion and former U.S. National Ironman Champion. It’s a really cool resource, and place to keep up with Lieto’s adventures and events.
Here is the Green Athlete mission statement:
The Green Athlete, an International campaign led by Pro Triathlete Chris Lieto, provides resources and ideas that support athletes in their effort to live green. The Green Athlete campaign encourages athletes of all levels and abilities who lead busy lives and want to make small changes that add up to big results. A core component of the campaign, The Green Athlete Web site, provides weekly tips that cover everything from where to recycle your running shoes to what food choices will help make a difference.
As a runner always looking to find ways to be more green, this is a fantastic resource. For me, the product reviews (running shoes, especially) will likely be the most helpful.
And I get to learn a little more about Chris Lieto and his friends and fellow Green Athletes.
Of interest, he also links out to these other Green Athletes (some of which I’ve heard of, some of which I haven’t):
Laird Hamilton
Ian Thorpe
Bob Burnquist
David “Calamity” James
