A CNN online article about climate change recommended ways pet owners could minimize the significant impact their animals have on the environment.
The piece offered ways that owners can reduce their beloved animals’"carbon pawprint."
CNN pointed to the"products we buy for them" that contribute to the climate crisis, specifically their food. The article stated,"Their meat-heavy diet is the biggest contributor to their carbon pawprints, which requires an abundance of energy, land and water to produce. And the production of pet food emits huge amounts of planet-warming gases."
It added that"if our furry friends formed a separate country, it would rank 5th in global meat consumption behind China, the US, Brazil and Russia, according to UCLA professor and author of that study Gregory Okin."Though"Bidding farewell to your best friends is not the answer," CNN said. Owners just need to"minimize" their pets’"environmental impact."
