Description: Biodegradable & compostable dog/cat waste bags.
I've finally found a (partial) solution to the kitty litter disposal situation -- instead of using leftover plastic bags (I'm out of those, anyway), I'm using Biobag to dispose of the cat poop I scoop out every day (or twice a day if they're, um, busy).
These bags are biodegradable and compostable. Sadly, animal feces is not compostable in Alameda County. I'm also using a "flushable" litter -- but folks in California should not ever flush cat poop because the toxoplasms are killing sea otters.
At least I can feel good that the plastic is not going to live forever in the landfill -- and one day, I'll figure out the energy consumption and trade offs for using something like a Litter Maid (http://www.littermaid.com/).
