Happy Earth Day! Over the next 10 days, we'll post 10 tips for living greener with your dog (some adapted from planetgreen.com and greenlivingideas.com).......
It’s so easy to reduce your carbon footprint – and your dog’s carbon pawprint – with these eco-friendly tips:
1. Use Biodegradable poop bags. Plastic bags are definitely out! For a greener approach, choose to scoop with a biodegradable poop bag and then compost the whole thing.

The simple solution is the best one – according to most experts: flush the poop down your toilet. It’s environmentally sound and earth-friendly.
