Title: The Doggie Pooping Pole!
Post by: Merlin Magician on February 17, 2009, 08:36:38 PM
 :meme: Here's a picture of the doggie pooping pole.  Under the sign is a white box filled with green biodegradable bags and under that is a trash can for hoomans to deposit the bags in.

I have to point out that it seems counterproductive to take dog feces which biodegrade in one - three weeks and place them in a plastic bag which has a "dump life" of 500 - 1,000 YEARS. :thinik:  That is not good ecological thinking.  Better to use small paper bags than grocery bags.  Oh, well, what can you do? :dontknow:

I thought you said they were green biodegradable bags???  Do they take a long time to degrade, too?  :dontknow:

If memory serves in order for these bags to break down they need contact with sunlight, but then where does the waste go anyway.  Its a no win situation.

 :dontknow: I have no idea how long they take to break down or whether they require sunlight.

I'm 56 years old.  I grew up having been taught to watch where I walk and not step in poop.  Nobody worried about dog poop on the lawn.  If you got upset about it, you were considered neurotic.  My dachshunds have a run big enough to hold their poop and it decomposes on its own.  I rarely go on poop patrol.  This was a FYI for Amorette and the Porkmeister.  :comfort:

Thanks for sharing that with Auntie Karen.     They need to come up with a better system that is just as convenient for people to use.
