Greener Choices for Cat Litter Bags

TraditionalĀ plastic litter bagsĀ may be convenient, but they take decades to break down in landfills. Each scoop of cat litter adds up, leaving a heavy footprint on the planet.
š±Ā The swap:Ā switch toĀ biodegradable cat litter bags. Theyāre just as sturdy and easy to use, but decompose naturally, leaving behind less waste and fewer toxins.
⨠Tip: Look for compostable bags certified by environmental standards to ensure they truly break down safely.
DIY Cat Scratching Board With Old Boxes

Cats love to scratch ā itās natural claw care. But buying scratching posts wrapped in plastics or synthetic fibers creates more waste.
š¦Ā The eco alternative:Ā upcycleĀ old cardboard boxesĀ into a DIY scratching board. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also gives your cat an endlessly fun (and budget-friendly) playground.
š¾ Plus, cats already adore cardboard, so youāre giving them the best of both worlds.
Comfort Without the Plastic: Biodegradable Cat Beds

MostĀ normal cat bedsĀ are filled with foams, plastics, or synthetic fabrics that shed microplastics and end up in landfills.
šĀ The greener swap:Ā chooseĀ biodegradable cat bedsĀ made with natural fibers. They provide the same cozy comfort without the environmental cost.
š Think hemp, organic cotton, or recycled felt ā soft for your cat, sustainable for the Earth.
