Carbon Emissions

"Cutting the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is a

problem that must be addressed immediately." Trees for the Future

Calculate Your Carbon Emissions: Earth is a living organism. If we do not take care of her, we diminish her ability to take care of us.

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it your score along with the square footage/meters of your studio to us. Collectively Yoga Studios around the world can demonstrate an effort to reduce negative impacts on planetary elements and beings. Note: the calculator at Countdown Your Carbon applies also to home users, so please overlook those questions that do not apply to your studio environment.

Why Carbon Emissions?

Carbon emissions is a way to show a collective effort on the part of Yoga Studios to care more for the planet. In 2006, about 7.1 billion metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of greenhouse gases were emitted by the United States alone. Although we need naturally occurring greenhouse gases to support life as we know it on this planet, human activity has caused an abnormal increase in warming.

Your support is vital

We have been busy planting trees, researching yoga mats, highlighting green practices, and networking the community together. And, we have seen a devestating oil spill, inaction on climate change, and corporate attempts to greenwash plastic.

As the ecological crisis grows, yoga practice becomes an essential tool in managing our human response.

Through our practice we maintain connection so that we can take effective action.

Please support our efforts now.
