Today is Earth Day and it's never too late to adopt some easygoing ways of helping the planet to heal. Here are 4 earth friendly suggestions for pet parents to help celebrate our planet:
1. Adopt, adopt, adopt...
If you are considering growing your pet family in an eco-conscious fashion, nothing greener than helping animals in shelters. Not just humane, but also a wonderful way of bringing balance to the pet world, already out of shift due to an immense number of dogs in cats abandoned and rescued.
2. Paper instead of plastic
Substitute plastic for paper bags when cleaning after your pet. They are biodegradable and don't clog the landfills, allowing their content to be decomposed (all that organic material will be wasted inside a plastic bag!). Of course if you're walking your dog, use gloves that can be reused, or a little scooper used for that function.
3. Recycled and biodegradable
Choose toys that are made from recycled materials, as well as biodegradable cleaning and grooming products.
4. Every H2O drop counts
Empty water bowls in the garden and plants if you need to change the water dish.
