Lehigh Valley Zoo Closes The Recycling Loop With New Exhibit
|
|
The Lehigh Valley Zoo is promoting green living among both children and adults of Northeastern Pennsylvania. They have done so by instituting a new exhibit at their zoo in Schnecksville, P1.
They have invited Rita Lacey from her business Close the Loop, LLC to come and create a recycling exhibit. The exhibit consists of all recycled products that are available from Close The Loop in the Poconos. It features products such as glass mulch, glass sand, plastic fencing, tire swings, and much more.
Some people may not know quite what some of these products are. They may hear glass sand and wonder how that is safe, or how it is made. The same goes for glass mulch and plastic fencing. The bottles are crushed and tumbled making the products very safe for home or business use. There’s even a sandbox at the exhibit for children to play in (and it is filled with the glass sand!).
There’s also a walkway with glass mulch, a swing set with tire swings creatively shaped into animals, and a set of plastic fencing made locally in Saylorsburg, Pa from 400 gallon sized milk jugs. A fire pit area is a gathering spot for educational talks with flames shooting out of the vibrant blue colored glass mulch. This exhibit is open for all to see now.
The recycling exhibit will help to enforce the fact that we all need to take a bigger step towards a greener way of life.
You are welcome to go see this new exhibit at the Lehigh Valley Zoo any time. Not only will you get to see this exhibit when you visit, you will also see many animals such as camels, kangaroos, prairie dogs, emus, bison, elk, and many other animals. Just go take a look and you will have a great time!
