But then I guess the advertising on the Wag Bag manufacturer's site (http://www.thepett.com/wag2.html) must no longer be valid, unless the "Pooh Powder" magically renders the bag's, er, contents inert. They say: --snip-- Each waste bag is pre-loaded with non-toxic Pooh-PowderT, which gels waste, catalyzes decay, and removes odors (no perfumes). WAGT Bag kits are degrdeable and are approved for disposal in landfills. ... After use, fold WAGT Bag into zip-close bag and zip closed. Dispose of in trash receptacle. --snip-- Ann Rougle *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
