Is your home overrun with hardly-used dog + cat toys, like mine?

Do you find yourself wondering whether there’s an eco-friendly alternative to those plastic poo bags?

That’s where today’s episode comes in.

My guest is Kim Almon. She’s a blogger, animal-lover + expert on sustainability + minimalism as they apply to our furry friends. On today’s episode, we: 

– Answer the pet-related questions YOU ask ME most, including reuses for dog food bags, the most sustainable litter box practices + more, 

– Outline pros + cons of pet subscription boxes, and

– Detail Kim’s eco-friendly pet movement, #take3forthetrees, so that you, too, can participate.
