I wasnt quite sure where to post this, as its not about food, but anyways... If anybody ever travels to Cincinnati you have to check out the Cincinnati zoo, its amazing! and was just named greenest zoo in America! exciting! They have started a new program where they are recycling the animal waste! They are currently installing a 6400 panel solar canopy that will supply them with 20% of their energy needs. They are recycling cell phones from visitors. They have tons of conservation projects for cheetahs, sumatran rhino, the African violet, etc. They even have a go green garden where visitors can learn about what they can do at home to be green. check out all the cool stuff at cincinnatizoo.org . You'd think i worked for them! lol. I would seriously live there if i could lol.
Zoos still make me sad, no matter how green they are...all those animals stripped of their freedom...cages, bars, glass....just breaks my heart <3
u r so right, it is very sad. Thats the next thing thing they need to work on! how to educate the public and keep up conservation efforts without having to display them like shoes in a store window.
