No Plasticized Poo

Dog Lady has this persistent bad dream about plastic bags full of mummified dog poop piling up on landfills and concretizing to form a giant monument to our excesses and inabilities to truly clean up after our dogs. Owners are educated about the necessity of picking up after dogs but scooping into plastic bags just seems stupid as it condemns the dung to eternity.

BioBags, made from corn products, quickly degrade on landfills. You can pick up your dog's waste with them. Or you can pop them and serve with butter and salt (Oh, c'mon people, Dog Lady is kidding). Actually, these silky bags feel like buttah.

On green blogs, there is heightened awareness of the need to go emerald when walking the dog. Also, here's a site where you can order dog beds, toys and other accoutrements recycled from plastic bottles. Come to think of it, when Dog Lady's dog was a puppy, the toy he loved best was an empty plastic container.
