We know you want to - tell us about why your pet is so awesome!
My dog, Judy, is a Humane Society of Tampa Bay rescue! I got her in March of 2020 as a pup and it's been the best 2 years of my life. She is so vibrant and energetic (and sassy like her mom). I'm not sure what she is entirely but definitely part lab and part pit - but the best part is that she's only 40 lbs. She has black hair (more so than fur) so I use a rubber glove to pet her and collect what she's been shedding in the summer time. Oh and here's her little face:
Often, single-use and disposable products don't just create more trash - they also contain toxins that are bad for humans. What are some other single-use items that are harmful to humans?
Toothpaste tubes! I've been looking at different toothpaste tablet companies that offer sustainable options with monthly subscriptions. I found Bite products through shark tank and will be looking to them to replace the plastic tubes I've been purchasing my whole life.
