Reduce the Carbon Pawprint Of Your POOCH
I have a couple dogs and I have been known to take them on long walks from time to time. Any pet owner knows when you take a dog for a walk no matter if it's long or short it always means one thing. Doggy poo. This is one of the handful of excuses, yes I said excuses that people use to continue getting the eco-disastrous one-time use plastic bags. Well I guess in this case it would be two-time use. When I broke the plastic bags habit I had to find a collection device for the souvenirs that my pooches leave on the neighborhood grass. I did some research and found PoopBags.com and they work great. They biodegrade within 60 to 90 days. Which is much faster than plastic grocery bags which are not biodegradable, they photo-degrade which means they break down into little toxic pieces. That can contaminate soil, water and harm wildlife
So today I'm cruising the interweb looking for cool eco-stuff and I come across something new. Doggy waste bags called Flushadoo, cute name. The premise is bags that can be flushed down the toilet. Hm? The website claims that they are strong, safe to flush, non-toxic and biodegradable. Sounds good. I made an effort to contact a company rep to find out what they are made from, but as of now I have not been contacted. So do ya feel lucky? They seem to be worth at least a second look; maybe I'll buy a sample pack.

Cool! I bet this would work with kitty waste too! I'm definitely going to look into it. :)
