💩 Why Dog Poop Doesn’t Belong in the Trash
And What to Do Instead (That Doesn’t Feel Like a 9th Grade Science Fair Project)
 

🌎 First, Let’s Talk Trash. Literally.
Every time you pick up your dog’s poop and toss it in the trash, here’s what happens:

You wrap an organic material (dog poop) in a non-biodegradable plastic bag.
Then you throw it into a landfill, where oxygen is scarce, decomposition is glacial, and the vibes are toxic.
The sealed turd burrito now sits for hundreds of years, releasing methane — a greenhouse gas 25x more potent than CO₂.
 
📊 Stats That’ll Make You Sweat in Biodegradable Crocs:
🐶 83 million dogs in the U.S.
💩 Each dog = ~¾ lb of poop/day
🗑️ That’s 10.6 million tons of dog waste per year
🚫 Most ends up wrapped in plastic, trapped in landfills
That’s not just a poop problem. That’s a civilization crisis disguised as pet ownership.

💡 “But… It’s Just One Bag…”
If we had a dime for every “just one bag”...
We’d use it to pay landfill rent for your dog’s poop, which is now squatting there for the next 500 years.

It’s never just one.

Millions of plastic-wrapped time bombs.
Every week. Every city. Everywhere.

And no — your city’s green bin probably doesn’t accept pet waste. They’re not ready. But you can be.
