There's been a news article like this every couple of years (I remember the first time I saw one was because someone had launched insect-based pet food for dogs to tackle the problem). They always seem to find another thing like this that puts the blame on normal people, when none of us are ever going to produce as much of a carbon footprint as the private jet-setters out there.

"About 51% of those private jets burn at least 239 gallons of fuel per hour. That's translates to more carbon emissions in two hours and one minute than the IEA's estimate of the average person's yearly 4.7 tons (4.3 metric tons) of pollutants, the study calculated."

I ditched the plastic bags and straws, but I'm not losing the pets until they lose their jets.
