Exercise
In addition to the numerous businesses and buildings that are working toward a higher green standard, still the most earth-friendly venue out there is Mother Nature. Rather than visiting your local gym, switch up your exercise routine and take advantage of Tucson’s great weather and outdoor exercise opportunities. Hike your way up Sabino Canyon or ride your bike through the trails of the Rincon Mountain. If you’re feeling extra gutsy, there are various guides to consult for a rock climbing adventure. Not quire ready for the real deal? Downtown Tucson’s Rocks & Ropes offers an eco-friendly (think LEED certified, water-efficient fixtures and recycled paper) approach to indoor rock climbing. www.sabinocanyon.com; www.rocksandropes.com.
