Here's a simple change people can do to make a daily chore a bit greener.
Your ears will perk up when you hear about this one, especially if you live in a city and have to pick up after your pup. 100% bio-degradable poop bags for dogs.
Besides being the law in many towns, picking up after your pet is part of being a responsible pet owner. Polyethylene-based plastic bags can last hundreds of years and often "mummify" your pet's waste, which would otherwise decompose naturally. Now owners have a environmentally friendly solution, BioBag Dog.
In the past, the best solution for disposal of pet waste was to separate it from the bag or paper and flush it down the toilet. Using BioBags the waste and the bag can be thrown in your backyard compost, where both items can decompose naturally; the waste and bag can be buried, where micro-organisms will quickly eat both; the waste and bag can be set at curbside with other yard waste where communities collect biodegradable waste for composting. Disposal options vary by community.Amazon.com sells BioBags from about $7.50 and up.
