Natural Fitness 65cm Professional Burst-Resistant Exercise Ball (Red Rock)

December 25, 2009 @ 11:32 pm · Filed under Natural Fitness

Sadly, I was sent the wrong color ball – it looks like ’slate’ more than ‘ocean.’ But other than that I LOVE it!

It didn’t fully inflate to 75cm (only up to 65 before pumping got difficult) but it still works fine for me.

It’s a nice sturdy ball.

The ‘fast pump’ could use some improvement. It’s neither fast nor easy to use.

And what I appreciate most of all is that it doesn’t smell! And it’s made of non-toxic vinyl. I also love the company’s “zero impact program.” It’s nice to shop from such an environmentally friendly company.

Overview

One of Natural Fitness’s founding principles is to tread lightly on the earth. They aim to offset the environmental impact that results from the manufacturing and distribution of their products. To achieve this, the company created their Zero Impact Program (ZIP). While Natural Fitness is always looking for new and creative ways to offset their eco-footprint, here’s is what the company is currently doing:

Plant-A-Tree Initiative: For every product sold, Natural Fitness will fund the planting of a tree, which can remove up to 2,000 pounds of pollution from the atmosphere. Through various partner organizations, the company hopes to improve the lives of people around the world by implementing sustainable land-use programs utilizing the trees provided. Locations for planting trees vary; but past projects have been conducted throughout Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Each location and project is researched and developed to implement the most effective plan possible; one that is best for the people and eco-system involved.
Offsetting the eco-footprint of their employees and offices.
Offering the most environmentally-friendly products available.
Use a “green” web host company that utilizes solar panels to power its data center and office.
Partnering with like-minded companies to raise public awareness about the environmental problems created through use of fossil fuels and other non-sustainable practices.
Using recycled content paper in business cards, letterhead, envelopes, labels, checks, and printer/copier paper. All of the product packaging and inserts that Natural Fitness uses are made with recycled paper.
Using recycled packaging materials and boxes in the company’s warehouse. They also pack with old newspapers and other recyclable paper products.

Greening the company’s comprehensive recycling program and using natural light when possible.
