Your carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases and others—that you produce as you live your life.

The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project determined that in order to hold the global temperature rise to 2˚C or less, everyone on earth will need to average an annual carbon footprint of 1.87 tons by 2050. Currently, the average U.S. per capita carbon footprint is 18.3 tons. By comparison, China’s per capita carbon emissions are 8.2 tons. We all have a ways to go to get to 1.87 tons.- Columbia University

Reasons why zoos are unethical:-

The animal is deprived of its natural habitat.

The animal may not have enough room.

The animal is deprived of its natural social structure and companionship.

The animal is forced into close proximity with other species and human beings which may be unnatural for it.

The animal may become bored, depressed and institutionalised.

Animals bred in zoos may become imprinted on human beings rather than members of their own species - this prevents them fully experiencing their true identity.

Although animals may live longer lives in zoos than in the wild, they may experience a lower quality of life..
