Earth Day 2024: Getting Pets And Their People Involved

Every person, pet and living creature call planet Earth home; but are we really taking good care of it?

In just the last 100 years, humans have produced over 8 billion tons of plastic, and only about 10% of that has been recycled. Overexposure to toxins found in micro-plastics are not only harmful to our environment, but also to all living beings and their critical intestinal functions.

This big round ball is our home, and we owe it to ourselves, our pets and fellow living beings to take good care of it. A healthier planet means a healthier life and environment for you, your family and your fur babies! 

The goal for Earth Day 2024 is to achieve 60% reduction of plastic production by 2040, and with your help, we can make a brighter future together. 

So, how can we help? 

Here are two easy and helpful ways you can get involved in creating a greener planet today!

1. Participate in this year's Earth Day Rally by using their simple eco-app to log any small steps you can take each day to live sustainably. 

Get Involved with the Earth Day Rally 2024 

From April 1st-30th, the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC) leads the industry in a 30 day rally where everyone can take meaningful action towards a more sustainable future by reducing our co2 output. We're proud to sit on the board of the PSC to help lead these efforts.

This event is free and easy for anyone to get involved with PSC's simple eco-app where users can log their meaningful actions during the month of April and track their progress! You can even compete with friends to see who can make the world cleaner and greener by completing eco friendly tasks each day.

A list of meaningful Earth Day Rally tasks that can be logged include: 

1. Composting food
2. Greening up your daily commute 
3. Opting for plant-based food
4. Practicing sustainable pet parenting and more!
