I saw this bag on the side of a hiking trail. The person who dropped it no doubt thought they were being considerate by picking up after their dog, but I was infuriated because of their rudeness. Dog feces is poor compost. But it’s much, much worse to wrap it in plastic that will eventually degrade into microplastics, seep into the oceans, our water supplies, our food, and then remain in the environment for a thousand years. Maybe they thought they were buying a “compostable” bag, but a lot of those are gimmicks. Why take a risk?
Would it have been better if they took this and placed it into a landfill? Not really. It would have created methane during the anerobic decomposition of the feces and the plastic would still sit in the environment for many generations.
My suggestion is that if you insist on keeping such an environmentally destructive carnivore as a pet, you might as well have left the feces for nature to take care of.
