Ever thought about your doggies carbon paw print? There is a myriad of information out there on how to raise a “green” dog and being the european recycling person I am, I just love that! In the past I have mentioned a few products, like the west paw design toys or the molly mutt bed, that help you be more eco friendly. Now here is an invention that’s helping tremendously.
Ever think of where all your poop bags go?
For a while I was pretty excited to finally have another use for all those plastic bags from the grocery store that they give if (if you want them or not!). But I wasn’t too excited for long when I realized that once I picked up my doggies’ poop they just go to the landfill as well! So here is the solution: One of my favorite websites, Planet Dog, sells biodegradable poop bags. They are made from corn and biodegrade within only 45 days! Granted, spending 6 bucks at least once a months (for 40 bags) is probably more than you did so far, but isn’t it seriously worth it? Just get a whole supply and give some to your friends at the dog park, too!
Now, I’m not sure people will like you leaving those used bags on the side of the ride. Because they don’t know how nifty those really are! So next week I’ll show you a product that will let you carry your poop bag home in style! 
*EDIT: I just found biodegradable bags at portapoo.com! Get your Port-A-Poo and bags all in the same place!*
*EDIT2: And (thanks to Elvia who found this!) there is an even cheaper place to buy biodegradable bags from BioBags.*

Hey, I found this site that sells all sorts of biodegradable products. Their dog waste bags a little cheaper- and you can order in bulk. A case of 600 baggies will sell at about 60 bucks- not too bad if you get a group of people to share the load. Or you can purchase them individually- and they’re a tad cheaper than Planet Dog’s bags.
