An estimated 240 million Yoga mats are discarded every year, adding to the estimated two to 3 billion now littering the landscape. Yoga mats are excellent breeding grounds for rats and mosquitoes and are fire hazards (burning, they release toxic chemicals in to the air and generate an oil-like residue which will contaminate groundwater).
Environmental Issues. The Yoga mat industry’s environmental efforts have focused largely on the reuse, recycling, and secure disposal of scrap mats. Reuse programs include retreading in addition to newer anti-erosion programs. Recycled mats may also been utilized in asphalt-based road coverings, shoes, household items, and even new mats. But in spite of all these programs, hundreds of millions of mat discards went to landfills since the starting with the Yoga boom in the early 2000.
Ms. Sally Hartgield, Press Secretary for your Yoga Mat Association, summed it up this way, “What a mess”!

A little Yoga studio in Seattle was shaken when on June16, a Yoga teacher at the studio discovered that a bronze Buddha statue looked as if it had been crying. The statue, bought from Pier 1 Imports and placed on a window sill of the Yoga studio, sheds drops of moisture from its eyes that puddles inside a pool of liquid at the base with the statue.
???At first, I thought there was a hole inside the roof and rain was dripping on the statue??¨¤, explained Jenny Satcrest, ???but the a lot more I looked, the much more it appeared such as the Buddha was truly crying. What??£¤s really crazy about this really is that it only takes place during Yoga classes!??¨¤ Confirmed by many Yoga students at the studio, the statue ???cries??¨¤ faster or slower according to what postures the class is undertaking. ???The tougher the pose, the far more it appears to weep and it stops fully when either we sit in silence or are in Corpse pose??¨¤, explained Ms. Satcreat ???I??£¤ve experimented with that statue and can truly get it weeping if I announce towards the class that we’re going to complete partner poses or do some chanting. Then I notice that there is a torrent of tears coming from the statue. It??£¤s virtually as if the statue has taken on a personality of likes and dislikes of specified poses and wonder if it can be channeling the chi of my students??¨¤.
This story gets even stranger as towards the explanation of what the tears are made of. Ms. Satcreat swears it really is the sweetened green chai that??£¤s sold in Starbucks. When asked how she came to conclude that the tears were composed of this, she said, ???Well, right after mopping up time soon after time, I lastly had the nerve to dip my finger within the liquid, smell and taste it. It blew my thoughts what it turned out to become??¨¤! When asked how she could possibly be so confident that it really is green chai, Ms. Satcreat stated she stops by the local Starbucks everyday for her green tea fix and stated she can determine the taste anywhere.
Others aren??£¤t so taken using the crying Buddha although. When a rival Yoga studio was asked about this, the owner replied, ???Well, I won??£¤t be impressed till that Buddha begins dispensing Frozen Orange Cr?¡ì?¡ìme, Triple Shot Espresso, soy blended Frappuccinos with whipped cream on the leading??¨¤.
Meanwhile, Starbucks is losing no time with a new advertising campaign incorporating Buddha using the slogans, ???Forget non-attachment. I want my Starbuck Chai!??¨¤ and ???What would Buddha drink???¨¤
