Poop & Plastic
In Episode 13, Poop & Plastic, Isabel interviews the self-appointed Poop Bag Girl, a woman that set out to make better poop bags and one-of-a-kind poop bag holders. A true expert in all things poop and plastic, Jennifer Blaese owns GreenLine Pet Supply. Jennifer and Isabel have a lot in common including their love of animals, concern for the environment, and penchant for discussing poop, an unavoidable topic in the pet care industry.
They play "Penchant for Plastic," a trivia game inspired by an EarthDay.org quiz in which they lament the dire consequences of plastic use. They also play "Never Have I Ever, Poop Edition" in which she and Isabel come clean - pun intended - about their use of poop bags and judgment of pet parents that fail to pick up after their dogs in public. Jennifer explains what makes her poop bags actually biodegrade in a landfill environment and encourages pet parents to do what they can to keep the planet safe for humans and pets for generations to come.
BIO:
I’m known as the Poop Bag Girl, a title given to me by my customers. As a dog mom for over 20 years, I have spent thousands of hours walking my dogs and picking up poop is not glamorous. The poop bag holders on the market are flawed by design, and to my surprise, none of the bags are genuinely biodegradable. In 2012, I started the business out of my Chicago loft, which inspired the company’s name. I set out to design the ultimate poop bag holder. With the help of my husband and father-in-law, we created the Loop for Poop. Our friends tested our prototypes, and our dogs ensured our products performed. When we say our products are made with love, we mean it. Our products are sourced in the US and assembled by people who love dogs and care deeply for our environment. We believe in making products with a purpose. From the materials we source to the people we partner with, our goal is to do our part and make products you are excited to share with your friends.
