Many people are taking many steps to try and live an eco-friendly lifestyle. One area in our lives that is easy to go "green" in, and often gets overlooked, is our pets. Here are five easy changes you can make to start being a more environmentally friendly pet owner:
Don't use a lint roller. Instead, use a Fur-Zoff to clean up pet hair. Fur-Zoff is made from recycled materials and lasts forever. Lint rollers waste tons of paper, plastic, and money. A Fur-Zoff is only $9.99 at FurZoff.net
- Use biodegradable pet waste bags. Don't use a plastic bag for picking up the presents your pet leaves behind in the yard. Opt for a biodegradable bag, or even better, try using the stuff for compost.
Eat Green. Buy organic pet food. It may cost a little more but it's a simple step to take. Newman's Own Organics is a good option for pet food.
Play Green. Make pet toys out of old stuff or buy toys made from recycled materials. Look around your garage; I'm sure you have something that will work. Get creative!
Adopt from a shelter. There are more pets than people born every day. Too many and the planet won't be able to sustain the population
This is just a start to becoming a "green" pet owner. They're simple steps to take, but you'll be surprised at the difference they make. Take the time to share with friends and family the changes you are making in being a "green" pet owner. It will help everyone make the changes together, resulting in a better environment for us and our furry friends.
