The topic of reusable bags was briefly touched upon in a previous entry. I had made a careless depiction that plastic grocery bags could be used for picking up your dogs’ poop, as many communities require you clean up after your dog, as a secondary usage from toting your groceries.
As an amateur earth-good-doer, I failed to think fully through about what would happen to that bag of poo after you tossed it in the trash. A reader was kind enough to share that if we don’t pay attention to where we toss the poo, Fido’s deed could be preserved for eternities to come.

You can also get something like a Pet Waste Digester System. My good friend Lauren from Dallas sent me to this website where they have a ton of options for getting rid of pet droppings. Check it out here.
