How Green is Your Pet?

This is pretty fun, actually. A great article from Green Air points out ways to ensure that your pet is being green-friendly. No, when your dog eats grass so he can puke, he's not "being green." At least, not in the sense Green Air is giving. Here, I'll reprint some of the article so you can get the idea. Link-through to the rest of it is at the bottom. Enjoy!


My pet is green!

Has your pet gone green yet?

There are 72 million pet dogs and 82 million pet cats in the United States. The pet population has an impact just as we do, but the difference is that we’re making the calls as to how we care for them, decisions that can also have strong impact on our health and the environment.

Here’s a few tips for greening up your pet:

1.) Adopt. The shelters are teeming with abandoned pets that are desperate for a home and the cost of adoption is minimal.

2.) Feed them right. Meat byproducts, commodity corn, and chemical fillers in pet food are as bad if not worse for them as they are for us. Nourish their little bodies with brands that are certified to have the good stuff or make your own pet food!

and 3.) Compost pet waste. Keep it out of your vegetable garden but it use it your flower beds and lawns for them to come up really strong!
