The Earth says hello! April 22nd is globally known as Earth Day, which is a day dedicated to the beautiful environment that surrounds us and serves to encourage individuals to recognize their role as environmental stewards. At the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, we strive to promote the idea that every day is an opportunity to promote the well-being of Earth.
A jaunt around the Zoo will help you become aware of our sustainability projects, such as the implementation of rain gardens, pollinator gardens, and LEED certified buildings. Currently, the Zoo is focused on achieving the goal of diverting 90% of our generated waste from the landfill by 2025 (next year!) through means of composting, recycling, and reusing.
