Celebrate Earth Week With The Houston Zoo via Facebook

Earth Day 2020 marks 50 years of people around the world coming together to support sustainable practices for a healthyplanet.  Although the momentous occasion falls during the coronavirus pandemic, the Houston Zoo invites the community to virtually join in an Earth Week celebration beginning Mon., April 20 through Fri., April 24.

Each day the Zoo will be live on Facebook at 11 a.m. to show viewers how they can help protect the environment and save animals in the wild. Viewers will learn the importance of pollinators in their own backyards and how replacing single-use plastic items with reusable options can help protect otters in the wild. Additionally, the Zoo will feature daily Earth Day challenges for guests to participate in for a chance to win an annual zoo family membership.

Mon., 4/20: Plastic Reduction – North American River Otters
Tue., 4/21: Biodiversity – Texas Wetlands
Wed., 4/22: Paper Reduction – Orangutans
Thu., 4/23: Conserve Electricity – Nocturnal Animals
Fri., 4/24: Pollinators and Pollinator-friendly Gardens
