Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it. - Terry Pratchett



Notice Board



Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

Not only that, but that's how dog pass parasites to each other. The local dog parks here (which I keep my dog from)) have parasite issues once in a while because people are too lazy/inconsiderate to pick up after themselves.

Water bottles prevent dogs from defecating on a lawn?

My solution is to have no lawn!

It's worth considering the environmental impact of spending a whole plastic bag (even if small) for what often amounts to rabbit-sized poop in case you have a smaller dog. I'm one of those owners that make contextual judgements about when to pick up and when to leave it or flick it into a nearby bush with a stick. I'm not picking up poop off-trail in the forest. Also generally not alongside car roads (talk about pollution).

I know owning pets is not environmentally sound, so all I can do is mitigate.

Or use bags made of plant-based materials, which is what I do.

Would if they were sold in the local store. My executive function makes it hard to go hunting for places to buy the things I need on a regular basis.

Cool article. Focus on loose cats first.

Why not both? Seems no biggie to pick up your dogs' poop while you're walking it. People here have mostly been managing to do it for years now.
