  • What if I don’t Compost them?

    Keeping our pets’ environmental pawprints to a minimum can be tricky, and with so many ‘eco’ products out there, how do we know which ones keep their promises?  A question we hear time and again is ‘does using The GREEN POOP BAG really make a difference if I’m not going to compost them at home?’ ...

  • Spreading the green love with Chris Packham

    Can you ever have enough Green friends?   We’ve been very lucky to have crossed paths with many inspiring individuals trying to make a positive mark on the world, including environmentalist Chris Packham.
