Kindness Challenge Day 13 – Reduce your Waste

Instead of tossing it in the garbage or recycling, reduce your waste by finding a different use for an item you no longer need. The possibilities are endless when it comes to reusing items! If you get creative, pets can provide a good opportunity to reuse items that otherwise might just be recycled or thrown in the garbage. Here are a few examples:

    • If you forget your reusable produce bags and have to use plastic ones from the grocery store, reuses those bags to pick up after your pet
    • Rather than buy a new container to store your pet treats in, reuse a glass jar
    • Putting treats in a paper towel roll and pinching the ends, makes a great enrichment puzzle toy for your dog. Make sure you supervise your dog to be sure he just eats the treats
