Do you have old stuff animals that you don't know what to do with? Our gift shop has started The Zero Waste Box Program that allows visitors to bring their well-loved but no longer needed plush toys to recycle. These toys will then be collected and sent to TerraCycle, a leader in recycling hard-to-recycle materials, ensuring that they are repurposed and kept out of landfills.

Please VOTE for Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, the Greenest Zoo in America, for the Solar Builder Magazine Project of the Year award. You can vote once per day through October 11th in the link below, at the bottom of the page 🔽 Now, let us explain why they deserve your vote... 🐘 🦁 🐅 The Zoo is not new to solar. They led the way with their first system in 2006 and the first #carport project we built with them in 2011, with many more installations to follow. In 2024, the zoo completed another parking canopy project to provide shade for its growing members and visitors, and to help reach its #NetZero goals by 2025. To help offset energy poverty in the neighborhood, the zoo also installed an additional 165 kW of panels through its Community Solar Resiliency Program (CSRP) to support smaller systems at churches, community centers, and schools through SonLight Power. In summary, the Zoo is not only slashing their electric bills, they are also cutting their carbon emissions - while helping their neighbors. They've been doing this for years. They are sharing their solar resources to communities in need so that more families and organizations can access clean, renewable energy and benefit from lower utilities. Thank you to Mark Fisher for your bold, relentless leadership.
