Did you know? Your Toronto Zoo has a plan to be Net Zero by 2030! We envision a zoo whose operations produce an overall benefit to our natural environment 🌱🌎 As of 2020, we have reduced annual greenhouse gas emissions 28% below 1990 levels, reduced annual potable water consumption 42% below 1990 levels, and diverted 78% of waste from landfills. Our on-site Green Eco-Zoo Team puts together recommendations to lessen our ecological footprint. Some examples include floating wetlands near the front entrance, planting trees in the green spaces on the parking lot, installing EV charging stations and implementing multi-stream recycling ♻️ We also support a program called ZooShare, a biogas plant that is turning poo from your Toronto Zoo animals, such as the greater one horned rhinoceros, into renewable power for the Ontario grid. ⚡ Intentionally conserving energy and using sustainable resources helps connect people animals and conservation science to fight extinction.
