Look for new plant-based dog treats that smell and taste like real meat

Reducing the amount of meat in your diet contributes to reducing your carbon footprint.  But can you convince your pets to make this switch?  Mary Jo DiLonardo on Treehugger.com reported on dog treats created by Bright Planet Pet that are made with vegan ingredients but taste like meat.  Owner Katherine Ellson points out that production of "plant-based products create fewer carbon emissions and use less water than meat-based pet treats."*  She points out that we can make more sustainable choices for our pets.  "What food our pets eat has a global impact and if we can reduce how much meat they eat, we can help reduce climate change and make the earth healthier."*  As an additional contribution to their sustainable practices, "the company also plants a tree for each bag sold."*
