Carbon Footprint - Dogs vs Cats


Did you know that a dog produces 1.75 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year, while a cat only produces 850kg's. However, cats are much more likely to kill native animals, whereas dogs do not. Dogs produce more waste than cats, but cats need kitty litter even though it can be made from recycled material.

Vote the CAT for the best carbon paw print.
