America's 71 million dogs produce 29,000 tons of waste each day.

Study by city of San Francisco has shown that dog poop occupies 3.4% of residential landfills.

Storm water carries dog poop and other dog waste directly into waterways. Pet waste is responsible for up to 90% of all bacterial watershed pollutionin urban areas of the U.S.

Dog poop has a lot of nitrogen and adding nitrogen to our water depletes the oxygen needed for fish and wildlife.

Plastic bags or even biodegradable bags when thrown in an air tight landfill would overcrowd our land and not biodegrade. An EPA report states, "Flushing pet waste is the best disposal method".

E. coli, Giardia, Salmonella live inside dog poop and are dangerous to babies, humans and other animals when they enter our water system.

Roundworms and hookworms are also common in dog poop. These parasites are dangerous too when we contact them in soil.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 2 days worth of dog waste from about 100 dogs would contribute enough pollution to close a bay, and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it.

Dog waste is 75% water and can be recycled.

Remaining 25% of dog waste can be used as fertilizer for non-food crops.
