The most eco-friendly sport share one similarity - they do not need artificial surface for playing, which minimizes their impact on the environment.

Outdoor running is the most environmentally-friendly sport because of its simplicity. The environment does not need to undergo any changes. You just need to get comfortable sports shoes. You could run indoors on a treadmill, but this is not preferable. Running under in the open air brings more health benefits and consumes no electricity.

Cycling is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing sports. This sport is also environmentally-friendly. Cycling lanes are OK but we don't see much use of them. It is much more enjoyable to ride a bike, for example, in the mountains or in parks where greenery is abundant. Further, this activity is an alternative to driving and can reduce the carbon emissions of our daily commute. The advantage of cycling to work lies in another thing - we will move and burn energy and calories, which will undoubtedly make us feel better and more productive.

Outdoor water sports like swimming, surfing, and kayaking are excellent eco-friendly activities. However, it is important to know that the items you put into the water can negatively affect the environment. Make sure that your sunscreen, insect repellent, and other chemical products are water-safe.

Climbing is eco-friendly but if no mistakes are made. A good climber has the ability to complete challenging climbs without leaving traces.

There is nothing better than playing football with friends. This sport is an easy and sustainable way to stay active. All you need is a relatively flat field of grass, which the environment provides in abundance, and a ball.
