The environuts are find that people are buying the small 4 gal bags for things like dog poop and cat litter. These bags use ten to twenty times the plastic of a supermarket bag. Unintended results.

We buy specially-made dog poop bags. They are really convenient -- far more convenient that using the old supermarket bags. It's only a matter of time before the econauts go after these disposable bags. How will they weigh dog poop on the sidewalk and in the playgrounds against a few bags in the dump? The ones shown below are "biodegradable and eco-friendly." As long as they don't decompose in my hand after picking up after Fido I'm ok with that.

I have never picked up dog poo and stored it safely away in a plastic or any other bag. Call me crazy for leaving it where it is to fertilize the lawn NATURALLY. Ok, I will admit to encouraging the natural process by squirting the water hose on a pile once in a great while.

Ok, maybe those city dwellers who walk their dog on the sidewalks and have to scoop could use their plastic grocery bags instead of buying more. It’s sad to keep dogs locked in an apartment all day and let out on a leash to do their business once a day.
