Great and eco-friendly

So admittedly this post is at BEST tangentially related to our coffee business, in that the name of said business was inspired by our dogs. But we do like to do our part to minimize conspicuous consumption, so I’ve been meaning to mention the dog leashes Debbie found recently. From Krebs Recycle, these leashes are made from recycled climbing rope. It makes sense that climbing rope has some pretty stringent life-cycle constraints, and that it’s pretty much like new when they are done using it for its intended purpose. And strong as all get out, of course. The folks at Krebs whack it up in leash lengths, and hand sew a nice clip on one end, and a loop handle on the other. Simple, durable, inexpensive and sensible!  And you support a family business when you buy one at a very reasonable price (our dogs are rough on leashes – we have gone through too many $50 leashes to count.  At $15 this leash is the deal of the year, and I think it will last darn near forever.)
