We, as you may know, have two little girls and they result in a lot of waste. The only reason we still use plastic bags is for their litter. The way their litter is packaged, however, is also a problem. We buy large boxes every month and a half for their litter and then, once the litter is gone, we have to throw the boxes away.
Last night, I discovered a way to reduce the litter waste and I think it can work. We just got a plastic container full of litter and what we plan to do is to refill the container with loose litter from Petco. I think this can lead to a reduction of (some of) our kitty waste.
We'll let you know how it goes. Right now, let us consider ways to rethink our use. Sometimes, like with this litter scenario, the solution can be (temporarily) hidden, but discoverable nonetheless.
Please feel free to share your recommendations on what you do to reduce your furry children's trash.
With cheers,

Now you're talking! I do plan to get a cat from a shelter. I could always use some ideas...
ReplyDeleteReally?! When are you planning on adopting? Leilani and Josh have just fallen into taking care of 15 cats (one of the faculty members at CSUN passed away, leaving her kids with Leilani).
ReplyDeleteWhen you are interested, let me know and I'll give you her phone number. I can send it in an email if you'd like. :)
