The Tulsa Zoo is pledging to reduce our one-time use plastic.
This means the zoo is moving away from plastic that is used once then thrown away.
Why? Plastic waste causes big problems for wildlife: some animals mistake plastic for food, while others become entangled in the trash. Plastic cannot biodegrade, so every piece of plastic ever made is still in existence today.
So, tilt your cup to wildlife! Or purchase reusable straws and lids. Zoo guests are welcome to bring reusable water bottles to the zoo, we have filling stations across zoo grounds.
Every year animals are injured by plastic waste. The Tulsa Zoo is pledging to reduce our contribution to the epidemic, and help wildlife worldwide.
