SCOOP THAT POOP

Every little pile adds up — but everybody can do their part to prevent “poo-llution.” About a half-million dogs in the Tampa Bay region produce about 125 tons of poop per day – and only about 40% of it is picked up. That leaves about 50 tons of poop on the ground to wash into creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes, and eventually into Tampa Bay. If you have a dog, make sure you clean up behind it. You can also encourage your friends to do their part at local parks and ball fields. It’s easy to make a pooper scooper dispenser. Just take two clean plastic bottles, cut off the bottom of one and the top of the other so they fit together. Cut little holes in the top for a hanger and a larger hole in the back to refill with plastic bags from newspapers or grocery stores. You can even insert a special note or a poster to tell your friends why it’s important to keep our parks and neighborhoods clean.
