Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves or on the grassland, you should know that your choice of sports might have a great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource - hungry(资源饥渴的). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts(数量) of energy are used to keep its courses(场地) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions(地区) of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment - friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today.
You don't need any special equipment(装备) except a good pair of shoes and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sports you take up, you can make it greener by using environment - friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacement for traditional health clubs and modern sports stadiums. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.
