Letters from the Moon: paper or plastic

February 06, 2007

there are about 60 million pet dogs in the united states today.

if a dog turns dog food into a pound of poop a day,

and if 5% of the dog poop is scooped up into plastic bags,

then we're going to put (60,000,000 x 0.05 x 365 / 2000) about 550,000 tons of dog poop in plastic bags this year.

i was wondering what kind of message that sends to future generations. and what does it say about us?
