About
Poultry include a variety of birds like ducks and chickens that can make very loving pets in addition to providing eggs and assisting with gardening. Getting a pet that provides an additional benefit beyond companionship and love is a green choice. In their 2009 book “Time to Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living,” Dr. Robert and professor Brenda Vale maintained that even a medium-size dog eats up to 360 pounds of food per year and has an environmental impact greater than that of an SUV driven 10,000 kilometers (6,213 miles) a year.
