You may not know the impact pet waste can have on the environment, but there are serious health and ecological consequences for not picking up pet waste, or using the wrong products. Some simple habits and supply switches can make a world of difference. Check out these tips to get started:
- Pick up after your dog. Pet waste contains harmful bacteria that can enter the water system via storm drains.
- Clean up after your pet around the house with organic cleaning supplies. They are safer for the environment and your pet!
- Use biodegradable bags to pick up your dog's waste. Check out these flushable bags that are even better for the environment.
- Consider using organic, plant based kitty litter. Clumping clay litter is strip-mined, a process which is bad for the planet. Check out some eco-friendly kitty litter reviews at greenlittlecat.com.
- Don't use a self-cleaning litter box. Just a little bit more effort on your part can save a lot of energy and reduce your cat's carbon paw print.
