    This action helps us to make use of both natural resources, even sometimes in the form of old, worn household objects to entertain our pets. To my dog, nothing says playtime more than a worn cotton pillowcase smelling of her favorite people!

    Bringing reusable utensils was easy yet impactful for the globe! Without needing to dispose of them when my snacks or meals are over, I can reuse them for more future outings to come!
