Reducing Your Pets Carbon Footprint


Here are just a few ways to reduce your pets carbon pawprint. There are several reason why you should help, but I am not going to cover them in the intro.

Build a pet waste composter. Why ? Because everyday we throw are pets waste away in the trash spreading disease to wildlife and contaminating the water supply. Find out how to build a  waste composter at Suite 101 how_to_build_your_own_pet_waste_composter

When picking up your dogs feces "aka poop", use Bio Bags, they are made from GMO free corn and have no polyethylene, bonus they also meet California standards. P.S.  they are 100% biodegradable!

Buy Organic Pet Food to reduce the amount of chemicals in your pets diet as well as reduce environmental damage.
Newman's Own
Natural Planet's Organics
Natura
Raw Advantage

Switch your Dog to being Vegan, vegetarians and vegans have a lower carbon footprint, because their food needs less processing and is less cruel.
Try: V-Dog or make your own

Stop using chemical and clay filled cat litter; Clay is strip mined and does NOT reabsorb in the Earth. Silica dust can cause cancer, it is a very well known carcinogen. Most cat litters also have sodium bentonite,  that can be ingested by your cat it can cause gastrointestinal issues and immune problems.
Try:
Good Mews made from recycled paper safe and 100% biodegradable
Worlds Best made from corn > biodegradable and septic safe
Yesterdays News made from post consumer paper and over 99% dust free
SWheat made from secondary processed wheat 100% biodegradable and compostable

Pet Toys And Bedding; most of us buy pet beds, clothing and toys from big stores
and the stuff we purchase there is mass produced.

Buy bedding that is made from post consumer materials
Recycle used pet products
Reduce the amount of unnecessary products
Buy Eco conscious shampoos
Reduce the amount of mass produced products we buy
Buy sustainable or post consumer products
DIY safe fun toys and healthy food
Talk to manager s of stores and see if they will carry eco-conscious pet supplies
