Canvas Bags - Do Your Part For the Environment

!±8± Canvas Bags - Do Your Part For the Environment

The affects of global warming are being felt everywhere from the North Pole to Australia the speed of change is alarming scientists. The problem is only going to get worse with developing countries like China and India set to produce more and more CO2 gases. Believe it or not we all can do our little part in protecting the environment by simply changing a few of our habits. By making the switch from plastic and paper bags to canvas bags we can all save millions of trees from being cut down each year. Plastic shopping bags are just as worse they're made out of a byproduct of petroleum which is used in so many of our products we use today. The problem with petroleum based products is that when it's converted into products like plastic bags and containers they never break-down leaving behind a mess in our landfills and waterways. If we are serious about saving our forests from deforestation and saving the planet we have to make the switch from paper bags to canvas bags.

Canvas bags are a great alternate to the standard shopping bag as the statistics relating to the consumption of shopping bags is staggering. Each year American's on average use about 10 billion paper grocery bags which equates to around 14 million trees that are cut down. The number of plastic bags we use each year is even higher as most stores offer us a plastic bag for the smallest of purchases. The great thing about canvas bags is that they're more durable than the plastic shopping bag. You can fit a lot more groceries into a canvas bag as opposed to a plastic bag which you need to double bag for heavier items.

Many people including myself always thought using paper was better than plastic bags but paper in some ways is even worse than plastic. From an energy perspective the typical canvas bags uses 14 times less energy than plastic bags and 39 times less energy than paper bags these figures are based on the canvas bag making 500 trips. Five hundred trips would be a modest figure because the average life span of canvas bags is around a year and half. Plastic and paper bags are able to be recycled but the energy costs are extremely high. It takes a lot of valuable energy to turn these products into other reusable products. At the end of the day canvas bags are a smarter greener choice and we should all be using them.

Small Dog Carriers

!±8± Small Dog Carriers

Small dog carriers become a must in our on-the-go society. Dogs are an increasing part of our lives, and keeping them at home is becoming more and more out of the question. Therefore having a way to transport them, when they are with us becomes a more desirable option. There are two basic kinds of small dog carriers. Those carriers approved for use when we fly and those for use while driving and / or walking. The biggest distinction between small dog carriers for the airlines is the carriers are non-collapsible. They also feature stainless steel wire openings for ventilation. Outside of that everything else in an on a small dog carrier is the same.

Some minimum requirements for them is there is room enough for the dog to move around and comfort for the pet when in the carrier. Most small dog carriers will have a center anchored strap which allows the dog to turn around without getting entangled in the strap. If the dog cannot do that, the carrier is too small. The ideal carrier is one where the dog can turn around, if there is more room than that then the carrier is too large and will defeat the reason for the carrier. One needs to keep in mind, dogs are clean animals and will not use the potty in the same space they live. So, get a carrier big enough, but not too big.

There is no end to the style. From back pack, stroller, purse, across body tote, and messenger bag (across the chest) totes the dog owners requirements should be satisfied. Prices will range from .00 to 0.00, any budget will be able to afford one.

There are many features. Some of the high priority safety features to consider will depend on the desires of the small dog owner. If the small dog carrier will be primarily used in the automobile, then features like being able to be strapped to the car seat like a baby carrier is available. For the on the go person, who will be carrying the small dog carrier, some come with wheels and collapsible handles like airline luggage. Others feature backpack, across the chest messenger styles or sling styles. They all feature accessory pockets and mesh windows for the pet to look out of. Some feature open and close claps allowing the pet to stick their head out the top of the carrier.

They come in all types of material. Leather is not a big featured material, largely due to cleaning ability, but if one wants leather, it is available. Mostly fabrics like denim, cotton / poly blend, natural canvas and faux leathers are featured. The interiors offer quilted, fake fur, and berber. Pets, while in the carrier, especially if they are traveling need to have a toy to keep them from getting bored. Accessory pouches are also found on the better small dog carriers. The closures range from zippers to Velcro. Size as far as the weight of the dog vary from just a few pounds to 10 pound dogs.
