The Truth About Plastic Poop Bags And Their Environmental Dangers - 2020 Earth Day

On Earth Day, I encourage you to think about the impact you and your pet have on the environment. Are you doing everything that you can for future generations? It is not easy and diligent customers have to pay more to ensure that they are looking out for the environment. As with any trendsetter, it costs more to be an educated and aware customer.

Plastic is a large issue for Climate Change, here are some stats that you need to sit with:

There are approximately 90 million dogs in the US
70% of pet owners live in suburban and urban areas according to this Pet Ownership report here
If you take your dog out 3X a day you are contributing over 13,000 feet of plastic material in one year alone.
