By promoting “organic and non-genetically modified products,” Dr-Cow's innovation improves the health of Dr.Cow’s consumers. This is because it promotes dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, egg-free, vegan, organic and non-genetically modified products, that are suitable for people with these allergies and intolerances. Additionally, being that Dr. Cow sells products that are dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, egg-free, vegan, organic and are not genetically modified, they are reducing their harmful environmental impact which attains to both goal twelve and thirteen of UN Sustainable Goals: Climate Action and Responsible Consumption and Production. By practicing responsible consumption and production, one is ultimately taking part in climate action. According to The Guardian’s article, “Avoiding Meat and Dairy is the ‘single biggest way’ to reduce your impact on Earth”, taking part in a vegan diet does not just reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses and one’s carbon footprint, but also reduces global acidification, eutrophication, land use, and water. A study was conducted and published in the journal “Science” that was based upon data of around 40,000 responses in 119 countries. Creating an animal-free diet not only positively impacts one’s dietary well-being, which was Dr. Cow’s original goal, but it goes beyond that. The more people who create and use animal-free products, the fewer animal farms there are, which means fewer greenhouse gases and carbon emissions released when maintaining the land, the reduction of water use to keep the soil healthy, and ultimately a reduction in farm size. All this leads to a more sustainable environment. All in all, Dr. Cow promoting these animal-free products impacts the environment positively and creates a better earth.
