Green Tip Tuesday: Pet-Care the Green Way
So, you're very conscientious about the "greenness" of your lifestyle, but what about those around you? No, we're not talking about your brother or your sister or your lazy roomate - today, we're talking about pets! Here are some ways to incorporate some green ideas into how we live with our furry companions:
- Considering rescuing a pet instead of buying one from a pet store or breeder.
- Use biodegradable poop bags instead of plastic bags. In the same vein, use biodegradable kitty litter instead of the regular variety.
- Where possible, wash your pet at home instead of taking it to a groomer. You (should) end up saving water and money, even if you might get a little wet in the process.
- Instead of using manufactured chew toys, old items around the house can certainly suffice (something many of you are familiar with). Use old shoes (delace them first!), tie knots in old socks or other rags, or old tennis balls.
- Combine your errands (like walking to the mailbox or corner store) with walking your dog instead of firing up the car.
