Bear foot or chucks?

Everyone has different sized footprints depending on how much we use, those of us that eat more meat will affect the earth more as it required much more carbon in order to keep them alive. The travel of the meat is more as its harder to farm things closer to the city, leading to more foodmiles.
however if you still eat large amounts of dairy it can affect your footprint almost as much as meat. Some animals produce more carbon than others, such as cows. Cows have two stomaches each which makes them fart more, cows don't help make the earth sustainable.
Travel is a major factor in a carbon footprint, as both what forms of transport you use and how often you use them. Public transport of cause, causes a lot less carbon emissions but still some and the " its going there anyway" theory only exists because of us in the first place!
Its up to us to decide the future of our footprints, whether it will be a chuck or a ballerina's shoe.
