As we celebrate the planet and work on ways to make it better, many families around the globe are working toward greener living.
If you're working on improving your family's carbon footprint, don't forget about your home's pets. Pets create a lot of waste, not to mention the amount of plastics that goes into toys and supplies for larger pets like cats and dogs. Making more conscious decisions about the products you're buying, what they're made from, and how they're shipped can make a major difference.
Looking for companies who are doing it right? You're in luck. These 11 pet products make the world a little greener.
