Eco_Friendly Pets

1. Clean up after them

Cat owners should avoid clumping clay litter at all costs. Not only is clay strip-mined, but the clay sediment is also permeated with carcinogenic silica dust that can coat your cat’s lungs. In addition, the sodium bentonite that acts as the clumping agent can poison your cat through chronic ingestion through their fastidious need to groom. Because sodium bentonite acts like expanding cement—it’s also used as a grouting, sealing, and plugging material—it can swell up to15 to18 times their dry size and clog up your cat’s insides. Eco-friendly cat litters avoid these problems; a happy cat is a cat that doesn’t claw your face off. Scoop up your doggie doo in biodegradable bags.

I just purchased an eco- friendly yoga mat, talking about eco-friendly and it has drastically improved my yoga experience. It feels like I am doing yoga outside when I am inside...it is so natural, nicer to work with and better grip than the artificial ones.

I bought mine at www.roweproduct.com, but there are quite a few places selling them now.
