Pet Carbon Footprints
#2
I think that there is a big division between urban and country pets here. My mother's cat is almost always outside and does his business outside. So it degrades naturally. Forgy equally always does his business outside on walks, far from people and farm animals. I think that goes for many countryside pets. On the odd occasion when our cat or dog do something in the garden, I have some biodegradable sacks to clear up.

For town people, there is less choice. They have to clear up on every occasion. In towns there are less opportunities to make manure or compost - and cat poo is, I believe, not a good idea for compost:

Dog poo, however, can apparently be used with precautions:

I would imagine that the manure of reptiles would be good for use because of their diet. Is that so, Catherine?
