For What It’s Earth

51: PETS! Can they be sustainable? Feat. Ryan Dalton


Listen Later

Here’s your daily paws for thought... This week we’re discussing PETS. Our furry little sidekicks hold special places in our hearts, so it’s not easy to face up to their collective environmental pawprint. Don’t get your backs up though, because we’re here to offer some helpful tips to do right by the planet without making your dog eat tofu. Warning: we say the word ‘poo’ a lot.

PLUS we talk to Ryan Dalton from ‘Into the Wild Podcast’ about dog control within nature and wildlife reserves. 

 

Oh, and paw-lease leave us a lovely 5- star review. It helps us get noticed and spreads the FWIE love!
