We emailed this out to our clients, but somehow the website got overlooked!

Walk This Way Continues our Green Campaign!

In our continuing effort to save out planet while caring for our “kids”, starting on Wednesday, April 22 (Earth Day) Walk This Way will begin exclusively using 100% biodegradable doggie bags!  We also left samples of these bags for our clients to try out.  We will be offering these bags for sale in the near future.  Please contact the office via phone or email for more information.

Poop Bag Facts (from poopbags.com)

• 4 million tons of dog waste annually are not collected by dog owners
• 20-30% of all pollutants in waterways are attributed to dog waste. These pollutants originate from rainwater run-off via sewer systems and dogs pooping near watersheds or beaches. Overall, it is believed dog waste is third or fourth on the list of contributors to bacteria in contaminated waters
• When responsible owners do their *ahem* duty and pick-up, more often than not it is with plastic bags.  Plastics are the fourth highest generated waste in the U.S.  They originate from petroleum which is non-renewable, do not biodegrade, and take thousands of years to break down
• PoopBags.com bags meet the ASTM D6400 specification for biodegradability and standards in all 50 states.  They are made from corn (a renewable resource) and will decompose at a rate comparable to other naturally biodegradable materials, i.e. paper and leaves

In addition to the new bags, Walk This Way invoices are always available in electronic format (PDFs sent via email) in order to cut down on our paper use.  If you’re interested in receiving paperless invoices, please email Dara at Dara.walkthisway@comcast.net
