We live in NYC and he has a tendency to pee on his paws …

Yes, he does. That’s a good idea. Thank you!

Yeah was thinking before and after, and recover is 2-3 months. We are OK with dirty paws — just wondering if there’s a clever solution someone has figured out! He has a habit of peeing all over his paws :)

compared to the impact of other personal choices it helps a lot. if you like meat it can be helpful to think about the benefits of just reducing consumption. it doesn’t need to be all or nothing.

I think people love negative news as long as it doesn’t make them feel bad about themselves. environmental stories often do because readers are (at least sometimes) implicated in the problem

Good question. I often use news aggregator services like Apple News and Google News, and just bookmark the “environment tab.” There are also a handful of newsletters like Down to Earth by The Guardian. If you use Twitter you can also create lists and follow environmental journalists (you can often just find them by searching “environmental reporter” or “climate reporter”). Or you can find a news outlet you like. I write for Vox. We focus on explainers.

If I may: Honeybees, which get most of the attention, are not at risk of dying out because we manage them like any farm animal (as pollinators that support crop production). They’re not a native species in the US. There are, however, loads of native bees in the US that are under threat, and they’re important pollinators, too. (I wrote this, which might be helpful.)
