Recently my wife and I found a plan for creating a dog waste compost system. We have two 60 pound dogs that generate a lot of waste and we began to wonder if there was a way to compost their waste instead of throw it into the garbage. American dogs and cats generate 10 million tons of waste every year, most of which is thrown into the trash and then winds up in landfills and never actually decomposes. This is our attempt to reduce our contribution to landfills. To get more ideas about things you can do to take greater personal responsibility for the environment visit www.lowcarbonhome.info
