You're a nation

Say it three time fast... Go on... It's okay... You're a nation... Yuranation... Urination! And that, my friends, is what we'll be discussing today... Good old pee and poop!

Lets start with our pets... We have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a bird, a fish and a snail (yep, in a one bedroom apartment). We use Swheat Scoop for our kitty litter. It's made from wheat, and does a great job. It's flushable, clumps well and doesn't smell bad. In case the one of the dogs wants a little "snack" (gross, I know...), it won't hurt them. It's also environmentally friendly. Have you ever read about where the clay litter comes from, and how it processed? Bad stuff...
The dogs are pretty simple. We walk them and they do their doggy thing outside (at least they're supposed to!). Our apartment complex supplies poopy bags, which are biodegradable; this way, we're not encasing our dog's crap in a piece of plastic which will never breakdown.

Now... On to us... If you don't want to get too personal, then I would recommend stop reading this right now...

Our policy is the: If it's yellow, let it mellow... Why flush perfectly drinkable water down the drain? So, we just let it sit for a while... I try to get everything flushed at night (so it doesn't sit all night long). So, now that you a little more about us (than you wanted to). Tell me your pee stories...

Actually, our poop bags are photodegradable, which is slightly different. They need to be exposed to sunlight to breakdown. We can only hope that all the poop bags end up on the top of the dump pile!

That's true... They are photodegradable; although it might not help since the trash bags that we throw them into are pretty hefty, and I doubt biodegradable at all... Bummer...
