Why flush poop?
Because we all want a happy planet.
- America's 71 million dogs produce 29,000 tons of waste each day.
- Study by city of San Francisco has shown that dog poop occupies 3.4% of residential landfills.- Storm water carries dog poop and other dog waste directly into waterways.
- Dog poop has a lot of nitrogen and adding nitrogen to our water depletes the oxygen needed for fish.- Plastic bags or even biodegradable bags when thrown in an air tight landfill would overcrowd our land.
- E. coli, Giardia, Salmonella live inside dog poop and are dangerous to babies, humans and other animals.
- Roundworms and hookworms are also common in dog poop.
- Dog waste is 75% water and can be recycled.
- Remaining 25% of dog waste can be used as fertilizer for non-food crops.
