Zen Yoga Environmental Statement
ZenYoga, upholding our commitment to the community, and in support of the global drive to reduce environmental degredation and thereby global warming, will be more active and strident in encouraging a reduction in the use of paper-based communications and disposable consumer plastics.

As part of this initiative, we will be encouraging wherever possible, the use of electronic communication and documentation and the use of re-usable containers and bags, therefore minimizing our reliance on paper-based documents and plastic products that only abuse natural resources and pollute our beautiful planet.  More specifically:

• our default method for notifications relating to scheduling, class plans and additions or changes to learning resources, will be published on-line on our web site and occasionally (for special events such as workshops) sent by email
• (Paper-based documents may be used in situations where electronic methods are not achievable or appropriate, therefore we will continue to publish the general schedule, but we will encourage students to check the website) to lighten the effect of this footprint.
• As much as possible we will encourage students to employ re-usable containers and bags for the purpose of drinking liquid refreshments.
 

We are also committed to using and encouraging the use of organic food, natural cosmetics and environmental sustainable yoga clothing.

Not only do these products leave a less damaging ‘footprint’ on our planet, they also provide us with nourishment that is more in accord with Yogic principles.

Zen Yoga is still small and it would be easy to ‘sit back’ and let the initiative only be taken by larger organizations whose carbon usage is of a far greater magnitude than ours. However in line with Yogic principles and philosophies, we believe that every person can make a difference and shares responsibility for positive change.

With a little effort we can all do our part!

“Let us become the change we seek in the world” – Mahatma Gandhi
