Zoo Atlanta is a favorite for the Hoots boys. Last month we had fun attending “Boo at the Zoo” a Halloween event for kids. The zoo volunteers handed out candy as the kids made their way through the zoo. Of course, I made sure that they did not pick up any unwrapped chocolate!
Around the same time Zoo Atlanta won a green award for their waste management of elephant poop and bamboo.
Here is a excerpt from their website:
The Zoo Atlanta Green Team’s elephant manure and bamboo composting program just won first place in the 2008 Keep Georgia Beautiful Awards for Waste Reduction and Recycling. By working with Natural Growth, Inc. for composting elephant manure and Downey Trees for shredding bamboo waste to be burned as fuel by Georgia Power, we’re diverting over 1,800 cubic yards of waste from the landfill every year.
