I think that most people have been doing as much as is within their reach to help the environment. I personally have been lowering my carbon footprint for quite some time. So much so that I get really angry when I see companies claim to be “green” when they have actually done little to change their products or their way of packaging. Just enough to make the claim and that is all.
We all know that there is much to be done for our environment. I imagine that most people at least take a few measures and they all count. Tiny steps eventually add up to miles and miles if we just persevere.
Anyway, to get to the point, when I see a company, group or individual really support the environment with action, I will support them wholeheartedly.
I feed my pets an all natural diet and use natural supplements in conjunction with a good vet to keep them in robust health. I want to share with you some information about The Only Natural Pet Store by reprinting part of an e-mail I received from them after my latest order. I think you will be as impressed with them as I have been.
From their e-mail:
- We are 100% powered by wind energy. We purchase Green E Certified wind energy for all of our electricity.
- Our packaging aims to reduce waste and reuse resources. We reuse boxes and packing materials, and purchase only fully biodegradable, non-toxic packing peanuts made from cornstarch.
- We are working to become a Zero Waste company, which means that we strive to prevent waste, and reuse, recycle and compost as much as possible – including hard to recycle items like plastic wrap.
- We seek out manufacturing partners who share our environmental values. We are always on the lookout for new eco-friendly products from environmentally responsible companies.
- We calculate our Carbon Footprint, which measures the impact our activities have on the environment through the amount of green house gases produced. This Footprint helps us to determine ways we can reduce carbon emissions.
- We use only eco-friendly cleaning products, recycled paper, and other earth-friendly office supplies.
- We participate in our local Eco-Pass program which encourages employees to ride the bus to work.
- We use low-energy compact fluorescent bulbs and biodegradable shopping bags in our local Boulder store.
See what I mean? I proudly added this store to my pet mall when I started the area on this site. I use their products and my pets benefit from it and if I call there to get clarification about a product or ask a question , wonder of wonders, I get to talk to a real person and they are very helpful. Its quite refreshing in today’s world to find a company like this.
This store is having a big Earth Day Sale and they have included both all natural cat and dog food as well as flea and tick remedies. Give your pet a break and go here to purchase everything natural from food to toys and supplements. They even have natural catnip but if you give some to your cat, stand back because they will be buzzing around for a while.
HAPPY EARTH DAY TO EVERYONE - PETS AND OWNERS ALIKE!!!!!!!!!
In celebration of Earth Day, we’re featuring some of our favorite friendly pet products.
