Despite the higher expense of purchasing Earthborn, compared to other brands, the dogs are satisfied
with less than your recommended
cups of
food per day per pound of dog and their
waste has improved.
So far I've held zero
waste workshops, given reusable bags to a local
food bank, made low -
waste homelessness kits, and given out menstrual
cups with proceeds from this course.
Then there's the added energy cost of production, packaging, and transporting to stores and homes and away to landfill, where disposable plates and
cups — which can be made of plastic, Styrofoam, virgin wood fibers, plastic - coated paper, post-consumer recycled fibers, or agricultural
waste products such as bagasse, and are usually non-recyclable because they are contaminated
with food residue — will sit for hundreds of years, slowly decomposing and releasing methane gas.
