Tossing the Frisbee around is one of the great idyllic green pastimes—picturing people playing Frisbee almost instinctively conjures up a scene filled with parks, hippies, and picnic tables. But those days are long since passed—now Frisbees are happily and un-ironically tossed on college campuses, Ultimate Frisbee games are arranged, disc golf courses are popping up all over, and it's a perfectly respectable way to pass an afternoon at the beach or at a park.
But just because the hippies' era has passed doesn't mean we can forget about being earth-friendly when we play. So here are some quick tips to green that round of Frisbee:
-
First, get a green disc—like one of these Frisbees that are made from recycled retail materials, or these Frisbees made with 60% post consumer recycled plastic.
- If you're going to play disc golf, check out the Reflyer, a disc specially made recycled material (also post consumer recycled plastic).
- Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during your game—not wasteful, disposable bottled water.
- Carpool to the park or better yet, bike or walk.
Enjoy the game——it's classic green. And for more tips, check out Treehugger's guide to greening your outdoor sports.
