Yes, there are a number of things a pet caretaker can do to keep things 'green'.
I certainly agree with cutting or stopping the use of household cleaners when an animal is around. So many 'allergies' can be caused by the toxic chemicals in those cleaners. And who knows....those toxins may contribute to illnesses like kidney failure etc.
I used to like a window spray, and it smelled very nice and fresh too. But one day years ago when I used it, I noticed the smell was hanging around low on the ground, and near Misty's 'food-station'! (No food there at the time, but I washed out her water bowl, and changed the water.)
Then I read the ingredients.....they were horrible, and included formelin.
That was it. I didn't care about me breathing it -but wasn't going to let Misty breathe it, or drink it with her water!
From then on I used white vinegar for windows, and rinsed with water, then polished. It worked just as well, non-toxic, didn't take much longer to do, and was far cheaper!
(Misty did her own version of 'recycling'....out in the woods....LOL!)
