Ethical Buys for Pet Lovers: Reducing Your Pet’s Carbon Footprint
When looking for small changes we can make to reduce our impact on the planet, ethical purchases for pet lovers may not always be immediately available or obvious – but they’re worth the effort. With the recent growth in pet ownership thanks to being home more throughout Covid, there’s a whole lot more dog food and cat food being consumed, cat litter being used, and poop bags being discarded than ever before. Increased waste means we should try doubly hard to seek out ways to reduce our impact on the planet.
