Mike Mitchell, Pezzy Pets
Here's a fishy story with a good ending. Invasive armored catfish and lionfish have taken over native species in Mexico, reducing stocks and affecting local fishermen.
In comes Mike Mitchell, who found a way to turn this into Pezzy Pets pet treats and even fish jerky for humans! The fishermen's by-catch is now another income source and also helps restore natural habitats.
Anne Carlson, Jiminy's
What's high in protein and creates 99% LESS greenhouse gas than raising chicken? Crickets.
Anne Carlson has an emotion-filled founder story of starting up Jiminy’s to “give pets a healthier, happier life and in the process, make our planet healthier too“. They've replaced traditional animal protein from livestock with insect protein from crickets!
