Some triathlon related things you could do if you’d like to help out the planet
THREAD...
1. Donate your used trainers.
Stop them going to landfill and put them to good use.
Soles4Souls - https://soles4souls.org/
So far Soles4souls have put 56 million trainers to good use!

2. Race local.
Hit 2 birds with one (metaphorical!!!) stone.
Save travel emissions AND support local businesses.
Alternatively there are plenty of ways you can off-set your emissions when you do have to travel to those big races

3. Train from your front door as much as possible.
Do you really need to drive a few miles in the car for that bike ride?
Could you have cycled to your swim session?
Can you jog to the gym?

4. Buy nutrition in bulk.
Training nutrition packaging isn’t great. Consider buying in bulk to reduce this. Also worth looking at bulk powers rather than dissolvable tablets and protein bars

5. Donate your old swim caps and goggles.

Other uses… cut onions in your old goggles. Make a swim cat into a colander?!

6. Upcycle your old inner tubes.
Wallets, belts, swim ankle band?
(always patch old tubes and continue to use when you can!)

7. Use your training to reduce your commute.
Get one of these bad boys? 
If you are trying to make sustainable purchases, dig deeper to ensure its not just good marketing....
