Lowering your dogs Carbon Pawprint - The Mindful Dog - 17/10/2021 - EP71 (The Sunday Cafe - Magic Talk Radio)
Description
Dogs have always been raised on a meat rich diet, but does that need to change due to the large Carbon footprint that this creates? The pet food industry in the US is worth over $42 billions a year and is expected to grow to $44billion by the end of 2021. In NZ we spend in excess of $200 million dollars a year, that's 43,000 tonnes on our dog food and treats. And we spend $275 million dollars on our cat food and treats which is a staggering 30,000 tonnes a year.
