Are plastic bags in the past? For pets too

The battle of plastic bags in our grocery stores is taken to the streets (and dog parks). By using free store plastic bags to pick up your dog’s poop, you might think you are recycling and saving money at the same time. Maybe in the short term but it is costly to the environment in the long run. A dog produces 274 pounds of waste each year according to the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. Waste accumulates in landfills and strays, and can kill marine animals. Dog poop takes as much as 100 years to break down, so this means that by not picking them or properly manage it, you are really mummifying it.

Use biodegradable bags like the corn-based BioBags that are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to break down in a matter of days. Also, take extra precautions when handling dog poop and follow city ordinances. Keep it away from storm drains that might contaminate sea, lakes and streams waters.  When you buy our Earthbark Movement Kit - biodegradable dog poop bag you get 5 sample biodegradable bags
