I believe people eating meat is a much larger contributor than pets or vehicles.

I'm not giving up meat! To quote Colbert: If God didn't want us to eat meat, then why did he make them all so darn tasty.

Yeah, I'm hooked on it, too. But I never eat rabbit. :)

I'm not giving up dogs either.

But Sarah ... oh, you meant keeping them as pets.

Si, senor. I will drive my little Honda, and keep my dog.
I wonder if the authors took into account size of dog? A meat eating mastiff would have a way larger footprint than my meat-eating spaniel.
And wouldn't long haired breeds that need to go for regular grooming have a bigger carbon footprint than short hairs?
Wouldn't a working dog - say a police dog who is driven to crime scenes - have a bigger carbon footprint than my dog who walks everywhere?

Where the hell are the pets supposed to go if we don't take care of them?

I don't know. I'm sure the authors of this article are leaving a carbon footprint, too. I'd rather they go before my dogs.

:)

After reading 42 freshman compositions about carbon footprinting last Spring, I'm completely burnt out on anything carbon footprint related.

It's all made of carbon. We use it to live the lives we live. The end.

Thanks for making that choice.

No idea.

RABBITS? Who eats rabbits?!

People should write more intelligent articles, stuff that can actually be done without throwing daily routines too far off course.

Snoopy is more important than those researchers, anyway:

I was surprised at the #2 pick...never heard of him.

I've never heard of Reveille, either, and I've been to A&M, for AggieCon.

This list is lame. Scooby should be higher than Reveille.
