What's Happening?
The Dallas Zoo has initiated a Christmas light recycling program as part of its conservation efforts. According to Chris Corpus, Director of Conservation at the zoo, the program aims to prevent plastics
and metals from holiday lights from ending up in landfills, where they could remain for decades or centuries. The initiative is part of the zoo's broader commitment to environmental sustainability and conservation.
Why It's Important?
The recycling program at the Dallas Zoo represents a proactive approach to environmental conservation, addressing the issue of waste management during the holiday season. By recycling holiday lights, the zoo helps reduce landfill waste and promotes sustainable practices. This initiative not only benefits the environment but also raises awareness about the importance of recycling and conservation among the community.
