THINK GREEN!
Come out & celebrate Earth Day at the Zoo! Earth Day is
celebrated annually on April 22 throughout
Canada. The Greater Vancouver Zoo will be handing out free
tree kits along with lots of additional information on earth
conservation & earth friendly tips.
Bring along your cell-phone for recycling & you can help
save wildlife habitats as well as help prevent the dangers
from discarded cell phones.
Cell phones are made with an ore called Coltan (columbite-tantalite).
This ore is often found in Central Africa in the middle of
wildlife habitats. Mining operations means losses to these
habitats & increased hunting. Animals are being killed
by rebel bands mining this ore. Reducing the demand for Coltan
will help save these animals lives & their habitats.
The Zoo's partnership with Eco-cell allows you to drop off
your phones & accessories whether they work or not (collection
boxes at the entrance). Everything that is collected will
either be reused or 100% recycled to ensure the proper disposal
of obsolete cell phones, batteries & chargers. The animals
& all of us will thank you!
