Going Green with your pet

[Catherine]

I found an article about having your pet live "green" when you choose to live green.
The article has some good ideas and once you start thinking about it I am sure you can come up with more.

I have been keeping my guinea pigs and various reptiles as "green" as possible for years. I use a green bin for waste material so that all their waste goes to be recycled. I even line the bin with a biodegradable liner. I try to buy locally sourced food so that it is not trucked long distances. I use cleaners that are safe and biodegradable. If all pet owners tried to be aware of the environmental impact of a pet and worked to offset it, I think we would see a positive change in our local environment.
Living green is a goal to be hoped for and our pets should be part of our important goals.
