Eighty-five million dogs and sixty-two million cats are household companions in the U.S. Dogs alone produce enough waste to fill more than 1,091 football fields 1 foot deep in a single year. Add billions of plastic pick-up bags to the mix, and season well with tons of litter box waste. Scoop a hefty portion into local landfills and seal it tightly to ensure optimal methane production.

Pet waste makes up around 10-12% of residential waste. Until communities step up to collect and recycle pet waste with other organics (and offer Americans easy ways to help with the process), sustainably managing this waste is each pet- and planet-lover’s responsibility.

The Pet Poo Pocket Guide will help you reduce your pet's environmental paw print with recycling tactics clearly indicated as "easy," "moderate," or "demanding." This no-nonsense guide is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the environmental impact of their best friend and looking for a safe and practical solution.

• Best practices for cycling pet waste back to nature

• Suggestions on how to tailor your approach based on location, situation, weather, needs or available time

• Instructions for using your composted pet waste safely to enrich your soil and nourish ornamental plants.

What We Love About This Book

Way more than just pet poo, this evidence & research based book includes a whole host of different ways to compost pet waste and everything else in your home. We loved all the nerdy science details that explain how to mitigate pathogens and compost pet poo safely (and of course, there’s a great chapter on bokashi!).
