Join Rodale.com in celebrating Plastic-Free February by entering to win a plastic-free yoga kit from Gaiam, valued at $85.

Why go plastic free? Scientists have linked exposure to plastic chemicals to cancer, infertility, obesity, ADHD, autism, and all sorts of other health problems. In addition to the wellness issues around exposure, going plastic free means you can keep trash out of landfills and the environment, where it often poisons wildlife.

While a big portion of yoga gear is made of plastic, Gaiam and other like-minded companies are offering ecological alternatives. Enter to win this free plastic-free yoga kit that includes a mat made of 100 percent natural rubber with cotton grip, an organic cotton yoga strap, and a cork yoga block.

Remember, it's not all or nothing. Every bit of plastic we give up—whether it's a yoga mat or a straw—makes a big difference in the end. Not just for us, but for our Earth, too.
