"There's a statistic that shows that American dogs and cats eat so much meat, that if they were a country, they would rank fifth in terms of meat consumption. And so the way we choose to feed and treat our pets really does have a big implant impact on carbon emissions, water usage, land usage, and can make a big difference by making small changes.
So our treats at Bright Planet, because they're plant-based and we use sustainable ingredients. Our treats create 90%, less carbon emissions and use 68% less water than a traditional meat-based treat."

"I think just resetting and reshifting or shifting your mindset is asking yourself, always, do you need this? Do you need to buy this first and foremost? And then can you get it Second hand, or can you borrow it or can you like rent it from somewhere? That way sort of like going into that circular economy where you're reusing things and keeping things in use rather than using it and then disposing of it. And then think of like the recycling and organics and compostable as sort of your last resort. Can you reduce first, if you can't not get it. Are there ways that you can get it where you're borrowing it and renting it. So it's secondhand?"
