Has your pet gone green yet?
There are 72 million pet dogs and 82 million pet cats in the United States. The pet population has an impact just as we do, but the difference is that we’re making the calls as to how we care for them, decisions that can also have strong impact on our health and the environment.
Here’s a few tips for greening up your pet:
1.) Adopt. The shelters are teeming with abandoned pets that are desperate for a home and the cost of adoption is minimal.
2.) Feed them right. Meat byproducts, commodity corn, and chemical fillers in pet food are as bad if not worse for them as they are for us. Nourish their little bodies with brands that are certified to have the good stuff or make your own pet food!
and 3.) Compost pet waste. Keep it out of your vegetable garden but it use it your flower beds and lawns for them to come up really strong!

I sure wish we all could do away with the word "pets."
Those we rescue are our animal companions. We do not own them, nor have we that right.

Yikes, another tough concept confronting Mother Earth, man's relationship with "unnecessary or commodity animals"
Befriend the wild animals and hope for a brighter tomorrow through habitat preservation and hope none of them eat you.
Poochie, kitty, horses, exotic birds and reptiles--I will miss them as we now exploit them.
Only kidding...sort of...
