Rose Seemann is the owner and operator of EnviroWagg, a Colorado company dedicated to collecting and composting canine waste into safe, nutrient-rich garden soil. She is author of The Pet Poo Handbook: How to Recycle and Compost Pet Waste. Rose was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. where she cut her baby teeth on the romance of recycling. Her granddad, a Croatian immigrant who worked long hours at the South Side J&L Steel Works, maintained an urban farm to help feed his family. Leftovers were buried in the gardens, a rotating smorgasbord for bushes, edibles, and flowering plants. Wherever she lived, whatever her circumstances, she followed her granddad's lead and left the soil richer than she found it. "It's always a privilege to give back to the earth."
