When you use regular plastic doggie bags to clean up after your pooch (you DO pick up afterwards right?) you’re just encasing it in plastic and keeping it from decomposing.
You should conside using biodegradable bags or use a pooper scooper to pick up after your pooch does his doody.
~ Use biodegradable bags that can break down in 10–45 days in commercial compost.
~Bio-bags are comparable in price to regular waste bags.
According to Ideal Bite, If 10,000 dog-owning Biters switch to biodegradable bags or a scoop, we’ll avoid the use of over 18 million plastic bags every year.
These doggie waste bags are 100% biodegradable and great for composting. They are tear resistant, have a 12-month shelf life when kept in a dry and dim location, and will break down in 10–45 days in commercial compost.

“In this economy you have to stand out both in your work and your appearance. As a new mom I found myself wearing the same black dress all too often in order to dress conservatively and hide the baby weight. I needed to freshen up my wardrobe but I wanted to be environmentally and socially responsible just as I was teaching my son to be. I chose to purchase a few key accessories rather than spending the money on new clothes.” said Christine Altavilla, founder of HipGreenDeals.com. “Because eco-friendly jewelry is handmade, I tend to get many compliments and questions about where I make my purchases. I created HipGreenDeals.com to make eco-friendly shopping easy, fun and affordable for women like myself.”
HipGreenDeals.com offers more than just accessories for the workplace. One might find the perfect bag for the farmer’s market or a great pair of sandals for the beach. “Accessories are fun.

Those who have carpeting in their homes probably realize that carpeting absorbs aroma’s and pollutants from outside (they come in on your shoes, the dog’s feet, etc.), smoke and every day odors.
If you’re using a carpet powder or deodorizer that contains chemicals you may run into the following:
Contact with skin may cause mild irritation.
It may cause abrasive eye damage.
Sometimes the dust can irritate lungs or aggravate asthma symptoms.
Some carpet deodorizers simply mask the aroma and don’t really absorb the smells or alleviate it.
The most natural way to absorb odors is to use baking soda on the carpet and leave on for awhile then vacuum up. You can also add a few drops of essential oils to the baking soda if you want it to have a natural aroma, or you can buy some already made for you that doesn’t contain toxins.
This product is a biodegradable, concentrated deodorant powder specially formulated to suppress and control odors and provide a clean pleasant fragrance for your surroundings. It eliminates foul odors from carpets, floors and garbage containers. Grapefruit and lavender essential oils are the secret to its success.
