Green Options

If you noodle around the gossip sites these days, you’re likely to come across the case of Ugo the dog, who is being kicked out of his home for the crime of…gassiness.  In fact, the entire family is being given the old-heave on account of Ugo’s posterior exhalations.  Oh, the humanity!  Leave it up to those New York City co-op boards to find something to pick on.

Seriously.  Gassiness? In the great green scheme of things, the gassiness of domestic animals is an issue only when it comes to cow farts.  As for the emissions from our dogs, cats, and other non-human family members, the occasional spurt of methane is small potatoes.  We’ve got bigger fish to fry: their poop.

Walk with me below the fold to see what it’s all about (but first a little disclosure: I’ve known Ugo the dog since he was a pup.  What a cutie!).

A British printing company has released a new edible Christmas card printed on potato starch paper with vegetable inks. While I doubt the card will be the highlight of your holiday meal, an edible card allows for easy, green disposal.
