REFLECTION QUESTIONPetsIn what ways is supplying your pet with all natural pet toys better for your pet, better for you, and better for the environment?
Laura Orsini 7/17/2019 5:51 AMSo many dog foods and toys are loaded with unhealthy chemicals and unhealthy ingredients. I like to know that the items were either locally produced and safe for my dogs, my family and the environment. -

Laura Orsini 7/16/2019 5:59 AMI've had tons of plastic-free advertisements come up on my personal facebook page recently, so I must be doing something right. Here are a few products that caught my eye that I thought I would share (I haven't personally used any of these products yet, so reply with your experiences):
Silicone Stretch Lids- to eliminate single use plastic wrap or stretch and seal wrap; they last forever and are dishwasher safe.

Zero Waste Cartel- they have a variety of plastic-free items including cotton swabs, band-aids and sunscreen that's reef friendly!

Who Gives a Crap-plastic free toilet paper! As seen at the Teen Eco Summit : P
We're determined to prove that toilet paper is about more than just wiping bums. We make all of our products with environmentally friendly materials, and we donate 50% of our profits to help build toilets for those in need. To date we've donated over $1.8m Aussie dollars (that’s the equivalent of over $1,300,000!) to charity and saved a heck of a lot of trees, water and energy. Not bad for a toilet paper company, eh?
