Most local municipalities throw away +150,000 plastic bags a year with doggy poop from the parks and dog runs.

There is a recyclable bag that can be flushed, or buried. It is being tried by the Dane County Parks dept. in Madison, WI. It is made of a relative of Elmers Glue, and is eco-friendly and biodegradeable.

This is the reference:

What about Newspaper deliveries? How many million papers a day come in a plastic bag to the entire country? What if they could be safely buried or flushed? How about Supermarkets?

Perhaps we need to use this community to ask questions and make suggestions about products that are available, and which will positively impact the status quo?
