Some environmental benefits of pet ownership include:
Reduced carbon footprint: Pets can help lower your carbon footprint as they require less resources compared to livestock animals.
Improved air quality: Having pets like indoor plants or fish can help improve air quality by filtering pollutants and releasing oxygen into the air.
Waste reduction: Pets can help reduce food waste by consuming leftovers or scraps that would otherwise be thrown away.
Emotional well-being: Owning a pet can improve mental health and reduce stress, which can indirectly benefit the environment by promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.
Biodiversity support: Pets like cats and dogs can help control pest populations, which can in turn support local biodiversity by maintaining a balance in the ecosystem.
