​If you love to workout, you most likely care a good amount about your body.
If you care about your body, you likely care about what you eat.
If you care about what you eat, you might care about how it was made.
If you care about how your food is made, hopefully you care about how other things are made, too.
Especially when it comes to your fashion.
Sadly, fashion is one of the most wasteful industries.
Thankfully, more and more brands are coming to the forefront and recognizing the need for sustainability, not only in their business practices, but also in their manufacturing.
Here are five eco-conscious athletic apparel brands making a difference.
