Paws for the Planet:
Welcome to our new series, "Paws and Preserve," where we explore the paw-prints we and our furry friends leave on the planet. At Zola Zola, we're not just about products; we're about making a difference, one wag at a time. In this blog we will share our top 3 tips for becoming a sustainable pawrent!
Why Should Pet Parents Care About Sustainability?
Your furry companions enrich your life in countless ways, and caring for your environment can greatly improve their quality of life. Sustainable practices mean healthier food, safer toys, and cleaner living spaces for your four-legged friends.
Did you know that pets in the United States alone are responsible for 58 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually?
Opting for eco-friendly practices means fewer harmful chemicals in their grooming products and less pollution in the parks and paths they enjoy. In essence, a greener planet means happier, healthier pets.
The Poop Problem: A Tail of Waste
Did you know that the average dog produces over 124 kilograms of waste per year? That's about 1,000 poop bags full! Traditional plastic bags can take over 500 years to decompose, sticking around like that awkward guest who never leaves.
If you are a pet owner who is committed to both the well-being of your pet and the planet, we highly recommend Zola Zola’s 100% biodegradable and compostable dog poop bags. Our dog poo bags break down in as little as 90 days, minimizing environmental impact. With a recycled cardboard core, 100% recyclable packaging and a ZERO plastic policy, ZOLA ZOLA goes above and beyond to reduce waste. Learn more about Zola Zola sustainability
Tips for Becoming a Green Pet Parent:
-
Healthier Diet: Opting for sustainably sourced and locally produced pet food can contribute to your pet's health by reducing exposure to harmful additives and ensuring a more balanced and nutritious diet.
-
Reduced Exposure to Toxins: Sustainable pet products, such as eco-friendly toys and bedding, often use non-toxic materials, reducing the risk of chemical exposure and associated health issues for your pet.
- Go Natural: Natural and biodegradable pet grooming products improve indoor air quality by reducing VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
For those seeking eco-conscious pet grooming solutions, we recommend Góodles. Their dog shampoo and detangling spray are Palm Oil, Sulphate, and Paraben free. Plus, their commitment to sustainability shines through with bottles made from 100% recycled plastic and biodegradable packaging.
