Do you have a dog? Have you wondered what to do with the large (30-40-pound) bags made of plastic that are NOT recyclable? Typically, plastics that are non-recyclable are tossed into plastic garbage bags and thrown into landfills. Out of sight, out of mind.
You already know this, but plastics do not decompose… they break down into microplastics which pollute our lands, rivers, oceans and waterways, endanger the health of wildlife, marine life, and human life. The toll on all living things and beings, and the destruction to our planet, is enormous. There is no Planet B, so let’s take care of the only home we have.
Rather than throwing dog food bags into the trash, upcycle and repurpose them by creating something useful. Implement sustainable practices in your everyday lives. Another action is to call or email the dog food companies to replace plastic storage bags with thick, strong paper bags that are recyclable.
