Have you recently adopted a new pup or looking to do something special for your dog? Dogs love being pampered and certainly love being eco-friendly. Having eco-friendly items for your dog is great because many products are made from either recycled materials or are organic but most importantly it lets your pup know that you love them. Here are four eco-friendly ideas for lowering your pup’s carbon pawprint.
Organic and natural pet food: Instead of purchasing your usual dog food try giving your dog organic food. We often consider what foods we put in our own bodies, now its time to think twice about the food going inside your dog. Having your dog eat organic will promote their health and well-being and it can even improve their appearance. Organic pet food can make their coat softer and shiner and all around healthy! So, pick up some organic pet food and show your dog how much they mean to you.
Biodegradable waste bags: Picking up after your dog is never fun but it can be eco-friendly. Instead of using regular grocery bags to pick up after your dog try using biodegradable bags. These are great for the environment and a great alternative for eco-friendly pet owners. Since they are biodegradable they will decompose faster and easier than non-biodegradable plastics.
Organic pet beds: Dogs love being comfy and will definitely love being comfy and eco-friendly in an organic bed. This is the bed that your dog or cat dreams about. What’s better than knowing that your baby is sleeping in the bed that he or she really deserves? Sleeping on a comfy organic bed will allow your dog to rest easy and have more energy for playtime. Not only is this bed good for your dog but it is also good for the environment. The Comfy Organic Pet Bed is made with a removable organic cotton cover so it’s super easy to clean. The guts of the bed are eco friendly, too. The cushion is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. Available in Ember, Gold, or Basil the bed is available in 4 sizes.
Eco-friendly pet toys: Why not spoil your pooch with eco-friendly pet toys. Eco-friendly toys are proven to be safe and are tested to make sure they can handle rough and tough play from your beloved animal friend. Most eco-friendly toys are non-toxic and can be easily recycled making it an eco-friendly must have for your friend.
These are just a few ideas for making you and your dog more eco-friendly. Being eco-friendly is fun and great for the earth. Having eco-friendly products for your pet shows your love and willingness to save our planet.

So you met that special someone and want to spend an eco-friendly afternoon with them but what should you do? Try putting a new twist on some old favorites. Having an eco-friendly date is the bee’s knees and is sure to inspire the eco-friendly person in all of us. So, next time you are with your significant other or newest love interest try these five eco-friendly date ideas and you will for sure have a great time!
Bike Ride: Bike rides are a great eco-friendly idea and is a perfect date idea. Whether you are going tandem together or solo going on a bike ride is a great way to enjoy another person in an eco-friendly way. It is a great way to burn calories and explore new areas of town. So, when thinking of something to do with your special friend, jump on that bike and hit the town. Don’t forget your helmet!
Cook an organic meal: Cooking an organic meal is the best way to get to know someone or spark that old flame. This date idea is great because it’s fun, eco-friendly and delicious! Next time you are thinking about what to do on your date go to a farmer’s market or your own garden and pick some fresh organic veggies and other cooking necessities and stir up a nice organic meal. Try making a fresh salad with all the goodies or a vegan pasta dish. Whatever you make it is sure to be delicious and eco-friendly.
Volunteer together: Giving back to society has never been sexier. If you’re stumped for a date idea try taking your date out to volunteer and see how they interact with the rest of society. Volunteering is great to do solo but even more exciting when you have a partner to enjoy the experience with. Whether you are into volunteering at a soup kitchen or cleaning up the highway volunteering is a fun and easy date idea that can be eco-friendly and exciting.
Play a board game: Who doesn’t love a good board game? That is why inviting your date over for a game of scrabble or apples to apples is a great eco-friendly date idea. Stay the night in and play these or many other board games. It is a great way to spark a conversation and get to know your date. With the low cost and little need for extra energy this is a great eco-friendly date idea. Grab your earth friendly counterpart and enjoy a nice evening of playing board games.
Go Canoeing: Instead of driving to a restaurant or a movie take a canoe ride down a local river! This eco-friendly date idea is fun and adventurous. Grab your date and hit the water and see just how eco-friendly you both are. If you’re up for it canoe around the lake or river and then have a nice day at the park if possible. This is a great idea for an eco-friendly date and is sure to impress your date!
