Sixth Street Pilates is committed to the environment!

At Sixth Street Pilates we are working to reduce our environmental impact in the following ways. Please let us know if you have further suggestions or feedback.

1. We buy wind generated electricity.

2. We use compact fluorescent bulbs and low voltage halogen bulbs as much as possible.

3. We use non toxic cleaning supplies.

4. We wash mats, blankets, and equipment with non toxic, all natural cleaners like Dr.Bronners peppermint soap and tea tree oil.

5. We use recycled, unbleached paper products.

6. We recycle.

7. Our studio is floored with bamboo flooring (bamboo is a sustainably harvested wood)

8. We provide high quality filtered water and compostable cups made of corn by-products, instead of selling water in plastic bottles. (we then compost the cups)

9. We actively seek out environmentally sustainably alternatives when purchasing new products.

Power your home with wind energy!!

Did you know that New Yorkers can choose to have their energy provider deliver 100% wind energy on their behalf? Instead of using electricity generated by an emissions and pollution heavy combination of oil, nuclear, natural gas, and coal, you can choose to use 100% emission free wind energy. Sixth Street Pilates has been using it for over five years, and we would like to invite you and your friends to join us. Bring your Con-Ed account number to class with you, fill out a sign up sheet and we will do the rest. When you sign up you will get one free group Pilates or Feldenkrais class! A surcharge of approximately 5% will be added to your monthly Con-Ed bill (roughly $10 a month). One household joining has the annual effect of reducing global carbon dioxide emissions equal to planting 415 trees or not driving 5,215 miles!!!!
