This is tough, as I need to put all pride aside to even talk about today's topic - biodegradable poop bags.
My family used to have us save our plastic shopping bags for later use as dog refuse bags. In the beginning I proudly stockpiled them and sent them home as a packing cushion for gifts, etc., and when we'd visit, the unveiling of the plastic bag stash was always an exciting family moment (on par with procuring "quality" cardboard boxes for an upcoming move). The whole thing from start to finish was quite a humourous process, really - there was even an entire procedure for inspecting them for holes, because of course, there's truly nothing on earth worse than a hole-ridden poop bag.
Although I was admitedly concerned about where these bags would wind up once filled and disposed of, I convinced myself that I needed to get a grip, and that some things just can't be avoided. This was a necessary evil. You have to pick it up, and you have to put it somewhere...and not everything can be eco-friendly. But why not? I began to consider if there weren't companies out there that made biodegradable dog refuse bags...that would be the solution - and why couldn't that work? Indeed, there are, and indeed, they do.
I found the eco-products site (so fun for a conscientious consumer). This site names earth-friendly products, so that you can search for them elsewhere. The site poopbags.com is the site via which purchases can be made starting at $12.45 for a month's worth and up to $59.98 for an entire year's worth of biodegradable poop bags that decompose within 10-45 days. Amazing.
