How My Dog Helped Me Go Green

Confession: My dog is more eco-friendly than I am. Earth Day rolled around, and while I was doomscrolling climate news, my puppy was busy sniffing out every patch of grass in the neighborhood. That’s when it hit me—if my dog can love the planet (and every stick on it), so can I. We started small: swapped plastic poop bags for compostable ones, made treats from leftover veggies, and hit up local pet shops instead of online mega-retailers. We even joined a community clean-up—my dog thought it was a treasure hunt, I just tried not to gag at what people leave behind. Turns out, saving the planet with your pet is way more fun than guilt-tripping yourself alone. Bonus: my dog’s tail wags harder every time we plant something new. Who knew going green could be this pawsitive? #EarthDay #EcoPets #SustainableLiving #Pets
