Green poop bags
For years I used the plastic bags that came with my newspaper to clean up after my dogs. Somewhere along the line, it occured to me that this plastic-encased poop would survive in landfills for years---many, many, many years---to come, and I started looking into more eco-friendly options.
What I learned: You have to read labels. A product may say it's 'green' or 'biodegradable,' but the proof is that it meets ASTM D6400 specifications for biodegradable product claims--meaning it really does what it says it does. (If a biodegradable bag meets the specifications, it will trumpet the fact on the packaging.) And of course, it needs to get the job done.
