The theme for 2019 is Air Pollution. We've put together 3 simple, fun actions that puts a wag on everyones tail, while reducing air pollution!
1. Cold at night?
Snuggle up to your furry friend.. no need for electric blankets and hot water bottles! According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), pooches have a normal body temperature slightly higher than us humans 38.3-39.2C in fact, compared to our range of 36.1-37.2C! So we're sure your pooch won't mind trading their higher body temperature for a night on a 5cm Pillow top mattress!
2. Need Milk or Bread?
Take the dog, not the car to the shops! That extra trip walking will get that tail wagging again and keep you both healthier while reducing emissions.
3. Using plastic bags for picking up dog poo?
Our research indicates most dog owners are using traditional plastic bags to pick up their dog poo. Consider using certified compostable dog poo bags. They feel better and you’ll feel better using them.You’ll be using less petroleum based material and more cornstarch and PBAT which is digested by microbes and is worm safe that will condition the soil. Look out for the trusted Australian Standards AS5810 & AS4736 logos that gives you peace of mind that your paying forquality and will actually compost! Be wary of plastic additives like EPI and Oxo Degradable dog poo bags which spread micro plastics.

Pup feels good doing her business and humans feel good about being ECO!!
I have spent hours trawling through the internet to find a great environmentally positive plastic alternative to reduce our environmental impact for our new family member and when I came across Tailz for doggie poop bags that HAVE handles I couldn't be happier. Our rubbish bags have handles so poop bags should come with handles naturally. It's great that we can hang a used poop bag on the back door to remind us to take it out to the outdoor bin.
The bags are durable (caveat sharp puppy teeth) and we never have issues ripping a new bag from the dispenser. The only thing is that the bag can feel a bit unusual to touch as it has a slight film, but it comes off easily when you wash your hands. My last complaint is that puppy thinks that they are an amazing chew toy when they poke out of the dispenser.
This adorable fluff ball is waiting on new stock to come in and definitely will be needing a restock soon! <3
