GreenDoggieBags.com will sponsor Bike Miami Day

WEDNESDAY, 28 APRIL 2010


Green Doggie Bags (www.greendoggiebags.com) will join the City of Miami and Mack Cycle Fitness in Coconut Grove this Sunday, April 25th. We will be there to help support the Bike Miami Days festival by distributing free samples of our biodegradable pet waste bag to festival attendees.

Bike Miami Days is an annual event intended to engage attendees in educational seminars promoting wellness and yoga, visit with vendors promoting sustainable consumer practices, and observe demonstrations on the importance of practical bicycling safety and maintenance. Green Doggie Bags will support this initiative by setting-up a vendor booth where we can further educate attendees on things they can do to better serve their environment.

Green Doggie Bags is a strong supporter of community initiatives and has sponsored other Green events in the Miami area. Most recently we sponsored Miami Mayor Alvarez's Earth Hour event at Jungle Island on March 26th, Earth Day weekend at Jungle Island April 17th and 18th, and the annual Dream in Green fundraiser at the Miami Event Space April 10th. If you are unable to make it to Bike Miami Day you can also see Green Doggie Bags at Broward County's Human Society Annual Fundraiser Gala.

Green Doggie Bags was launched in Miami after seeing the floating islands of garbage in the oceans that scientists now believe are the size of Delaware and have surpassed reasonable clean-up capabilities of any country. The islands, or floating states rather, are permanent fixtures in our oceans, poisoning and killing millions of marine life annually. Beached whales are regularly found with yards of plastic in their stomachs, while smaller marine life either die from eating the plastic garbage or being trapped by it, thus inhibiting their range of motion, suffocating them, and subsequently dying.

Green Doggie Bags are different from other 'biodegradable' products in that they biodegrade in composts and landfills. Cornstarch and oxy-degradable products only biodegrade in composts, but remain indefinitely in landfills, creating the same problems conventional products cause. Green Doggie Bags are not heat or moisture sensitive like cornstarch products, and they do not release harmful metals like oxy-degradables.

Green Doggie Bags and its sister company, Green Trash Bags, are divisions of EcoAdepts which markets 100% biodegradable replacement products for traditional plastics.
