1 Sports help you keep fit and get in touch withnature. However， whether you are in the mountains， inthe waves， or on the grassland， you should be aware thatyour choice of sport might have a great influence on theenvironment.

2 Some sports are resource?hungry. Golf， as youmay know， eats up not only large areas of countryside， but also tons of water. Besides， allsorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球場） in goodcondition. This causes major environmental effects. For example， in the dry regions ofPortugal and Spain， golf is often responsible for serious water shortages in some local areas.

3 There are many environment?friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that youcould take up today. You dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes，and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free， powerwalking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly， it will be good for your heart andbones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.

4 Whatever sport you take up， you can make it greener by using environment?friendlyequipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be“green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sportscenters. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors， in the countryside or other openspaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all， itis free.
