The Editor,

Re. "Your pet dog is poisoning our planet" (Letters, tricitynews.com).

OK, fine. I'll simply add my dog to my personal environmental footprint, OK?

And with my calculations, I'll then go out to buy a few carbon credits defined out by the rather useless and meaningless, politically-based, compromised Kyoto Protocol.

Once those are purchased, I'll effectively cancel out my dog's environmental bit, plus a bit more. Will this make you happy, then?

Frankly, I find this letter farcical as dogs are less than a minuscule contribution to our collective environmental issues. Get real.
