7 WAYS YOU AND YOUR 4-LEGGED FRIEND CAN HELP REDUCE YOUR CARBON PAWPRINT
*BUY 100% BIODEGRADABLE WASTE BAGS. I know using your Jewel bags seems like recycling, but plastic bags take hundreds of years to degrade in landfill while biodegradable bags take about the same time as an apple to decompose.
*GIVE HEMP OR BAMBOO PRODUCTS A TRY. They are both natural, renewable resources that are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. They are also anti-bacterial, so no stinky pet.
*USE NATURAL CLEANERS FOR HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS. They contain natural enzymes to gobble up the odor causing culprits and eliminates stains.
*DUMP THE CLAY LITTER. Clay litter contains chemicals that can coat both you and kitty's lungs. Use natural deodorizers such as baking soda in addition to an eco-friendly,
bio-degradable cat litter. Try our recycled litter scooper with Worlds Best Cat Litter.
*BUY PRODUCTS MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS. Many manufacturers make natural toys that are non-toxic and latex free, creating virtually no waste in their production process. Try Orbee-Tuff toys or Zogo-Flex Hurley.
*CONSIDER A MORE ORGANIC/ECO-FRIENDLY DIET. Look for foods with high-quality proteins and pulse crop ingredients like peas and chickpeas. They are sustainable crops that draw their own nitrogen fertilizer from the atmosphere. Which means less fossil fuel is used to grow the crops and less CO2 is emitted.
*TRY FASTING FOR A DAY. Having you or your pet fast for a day allows their digestive system a break to focus on digesting toxins and cleaning out the intestines. Allow as much water or chicken broth as you want for the day. As always if your pet has health concerns you should consult with your vet before fasting.
