REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Join a Cleanup EffortHow does working with others to clean up your community make you feel?
Suzanne Carpenter 7/17/2019 9:18 AMThe Chesapeake Bay is home to thousands of wildlife. Unfortunately trash has always been an issue and each year many wildlife has been rescued due to injury and death sustained by trash such as fishing lines, hooks and plastics thrown in the bay. I am glad to be a part of the Wildlife rescue that supports efforts to clean the bay and educate our locals on keeping the bay clean so that future generations can enjoy our wildlife and visiting migratory birds.

REFLECTION QUESTIONPets All Natural Pet ToysIn what ways is supplying your pet with all natural pet toys better for your pet, better for you, and better for the environment?
Suzanne Carpenter 7/08/2019 12:12 PMAnimal toys are not as regulated in the US so сarcinogenѕ, irrіtantѕ оr toxісаnts being contained in many pаints and plastic materials are present in dog toys. By choosing natural, organic rope toys, I am protecting the health of my dogs and when they are ready to be disposed of - which is in gazzilion years, the rope is recycled and will not leave a harmful effect to the environment due to its natural material.
