Might feel odd at first but our paper poop bags are strong enough for most ‘regular' poops. You won't feel the heat nor the texture as with plastic and bioplastics which dog parents are happy about. Turn inside out like you normally would and twist or roll down the edges to keep it closed.SMALL CHANGES MAKE A BIG IMPACT: Is this the silver bullet to end all plastic poop bag use? Not exactly. We can only try to do better, move the needle as they say. If you use these paper poop bags for even half your pick-ups, you'll have stopped about 350 pieces of plastic a year from polluting the earth.
