Just wondering: why are you preserving dog poop?

The Bite:
Think about it: by using regular plastic doggie bags to clean up after your best friend, that poop is kept, er, fresh for longer than you probably intended. So switch to biodegradable bags or use a pooper scooper. After all, it’s your doodie!
The Benefits: 
  • In the US, the poop that dogs produce could fill an 800 ft tall football field each year. Use biodegradable bags, which break down in as few as 30 days.
  • Bio-bags are comparably priced to regular baggies.
  • Pooper scoopers are free after the initial investment.
Personally Speaking: 
Cricket was recently on NBC news for being an eco-pup. The part that featured her doodie being picked up with a biobag was shockingly cut, but they did show her doing some pretty impressive tricks for all-natural bison jerky.
Wanna Try: 
Lisa Dvorin and Alison Phillips.

Cocktail Fact

San Francisco's piloting a project to harness the power of poop - turning methane from doggie doo into electricity.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 dog-owning Biters switch to biodegradable bags or a scoop, we'll avoid the use of over 18 million plastic bags every year.

You should check out PoopBags at www.poopbags.com for another option. They're really reasonable and super-friendly people! 100% biodegradable and their boxes are made using wind power - cool stuff!

Two thumbs up for this post!! Biodegradable bags are so much better than regular grocery store plastics! Would love to hear more of your opinion on the Rascodog blog. We talk biodegradable plastics all the time especially now that grocery stores are getting rid of them: http://www.rascodog.com/scoop/grocery-store-bags-being-eliminated/
