Waste
Waste Reduction Practices
Honor Yoga seeks to reduce its waste through a variety of initiatives. This includes discouraging the use of bottled water by providing mugs and glass bottles to students, along with offering filtered water where students can fill their own bottles. In addition, to reduce paper waste we use cloth towels in the bathrooms to eliminate paper towels and minimize the use of printed paper by using chalk boards in the studio and online tools to advertise our classes and workshop schedules. When we print, we do so on recycled materials whenever possible.
