This engaging and enlightening book outlines strategies that pet owners can pursue to reduce the family’s carbon foot- and pawprints, from using less toxic flea repellant to offering earth-friendly treats and toys to our much-loved pets. Adamson’s goal in writing Pets Gone Green stemmed from her desire to find ways to save her dogs from the increasingly toxic environment around us. “…we are obligated to speak up for our furry companions, who are unable to think or act green on their own.” Pets Gone Green remains a timely exploration of many of the hot-button topics in our world today, from eating local and animal rescue to activism and recycling! The book offers practical advice for owners of all pets, from dogs and cats to birds, small mammals, and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs pet rescue has increasingly become “the thing to do,” the book begins with a chapter on “Recycled Companions: The Ultimate Earth-Friendly Act,” in which the author discusses the many advantages of rescuing a pet from a shelter or rescue society. Pet food, another hot topic in the pet world, is the subject of “Green Food,” which includes a brief history of commercial food and the pluses and minuses of using natural, homemade, raw, and vegetarian diets for pets. The chapter “Altered States” is devoted to the importance and health benefits of spaying and neutering pets. Buying and eating local, diminishing consumerism, organic materials, holistic pet care, and recycling are all discussed in terms of improving humans’ and pets’ lives and reducing waste on a community, national, and global level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrinted with soy ink on recycled paper, Pets Gone Green presents the original artwork of New England painter and woodblock printmaker Willy Reddick.

She concludes, “…animals are companions worthy of our respect, love, and care, and because they are so close to nature in ways we can only begin to comprehend, they are also the key to our salvation….Animals understand how to live lightly on the earth, and we can learn from them.” Resources of animal welfare websites and agencies, green organizations, holistic resources, green product manufacturers, and green websites and publications included.

Our lawns sprout African grasses, our roadsides flower with European weeds, and our homes harbor Asian, European, and African pests. The iconic American cowboy spread such alien life forms as cows, horses, anthrax, and tumbleweed, supplementing the often unexpected ways Native Americans influenced the environment. Misguided enthusiasts deliberately introduced carp, kudzu, and starlings. Leland considers the new home that these aliens in the backyard have made for themselves on the continent, but he employs an approach different from that of most naturalists. While environmentalists almost universally decry the invasion of non-native species, Leland finds that uncovering their stories of arrival and assimilation to be the more intriguing endeavor. Leland does mourn such ravages as the chestnut blight, Dutch elm disease, and gypsy moth, but he discovers that the vast majority of alien plants and animals, like their human counterparts, go about the business of existence and reproduction without threatening anyone or anything. survival, Leland cuts through myths coloring our grasp of the natural world and suggests that the stories of how these plants and animals have reshaped our landscape are as much a part of the continent's history as that of our presidents and politics. At the same time Leland poses questions about what exactly, of all our accepted icons, is truly American. Not apple pie or Kentucky bluegrass; not Idaho potatoes or Boston ivy. With an engaging style and genuine appreciation for nature's resiliency, Leland forces us to rethink our understanding of what it means to be American. He reveals how plant and animal invaders have made the country as much an environmental melting pot as it is melding of peoples and cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Libris Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39617133641919,"sku":"EXL002231","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5675\/7951\/products\/926094.jpg?v=1619463423"},{"product_id":"199194653","title":"The Consumer's Guide to Dog Food: What's in Dog Food, Why It's There and How to Choose the Best Food for Your Dog by Liz Palika (1996)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaperback in Very Good (VG) condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscusses the nutritional needs of dogs and explains how to choose a food to meet each dog's needs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Libris Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39617133936831,"sku":"EXL001932","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5675\/7951\/products\/515N8C7V5DL._SX308_BO1_204_203_200.jpg?v=1619462831"},{"product_id":"199197691","title":"Field Guide to the Life and Times of Roger Conant by Roger Conant (1997)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHardcover in Good (G) condition.

Some of our greatest thinkers–Aristotle, Plato, Thomas Aquinas–and countless animal lovers have been obsessed with this question for thousands of years. Now New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz looks for an answer and finds even more questions as he recounts the lives and stories of the residents of his celebrated Bedlam Farm: Rose, his beloved workaholic sheepdog who runs the farm, and an array of gentle donkeys, industrious chickens, docile sheep, obnoxious goats, and a murderous yet loving barn cat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo these remarkable creatures have consciences?

Whether it is Rose’s brilliant and methodical herding ability, Mother the cat’s keen mousing instincts, or Izzy’s canine compassion toward hospice patients, Katz is mesmerized to see in them individual personas and sparks of self-awareness. He marvels, too, at the distinctions between the species–our desire to change and our ability to edit and censor ourselves, and their capacity to live in the now. And yet the differences never keep Katz from fully enjoying, loving, and cherishing his unusual cast of Bedlam Farm characters.

Many dogs are out of control, untrained, chewing up furniture, taking medication for anxiety, and biting millions of people a year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, in this groundbreaking new guide, Jon Katz, a leading authority on the human-canine bond, offers a powerful and practical philosophy for living with a dog, from the moment we decide to get one to the sad day when one dies. Conventional training methods often fail dog owners, but Katz argues that we know our dogs better than anyone else possibly could, and therefore we are well suited to train them. It is imperative, he says, that we think rationally and responsibly about how we choose, train, and live with the dogs we love, and the more we learn about ourselves, the better we can recognize their wonderful animal natures. Misinterpreting dogs is a profound obstacle to understanding them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatz believes that both people and dogs are unique-a chow differs from a Lab just as a city dweller differs from a farmer-and he describes how such individuality isn't addressed by even the best and most popular training methods. Not every training theory is for everyone, notes Katz, but almost anyone can train a dog and live with him comfortably. Katz on Dogs is filled with no-nonsense advice and answers to such key questions as:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- What kind of dog should I have?

Through the five years that followed, as the ship hugged the coastline of South America, Darwin found himself wading through waist-deep mud, climbing towerlike trees in the rain forest, and scaling craggy Patagonian cliffs as he closely observed the relationship between the wild creatures he stalked and the astonishing, utterly unfamiliar landscapes where he found them. At the end of these adventures, Darwin emerged a philosophical naturalist who could draw scientific truths from the simple stories contained in the creatures he encountered.
