Poop at the Zoo: The Bronx Zoo's New Eco Restroom
- 17 years ago
What's the scoop on poop? This Pulse video takes you to the Bronx Zoo's new Eco Restrooms, where each flush gives back to the earth thanks to hyper-efficient water recycling renovations. We check out how the zoo's new bathrooms take freshening up into the future with recycling systems that help you waste less water and use fewer materials. Between gray water reused as fertilizer and rainwater collection for irrigation, the surrounding gardens have plenty to grow on. And we meet zoo administrators who have jumped at the chance to use the restrooms to teach kids about water use and climate change. And their message seems to be sinking in; we talk to one little girl who took the message to heart after being dazzled by the facilities! No one's worrying about potty mouths here. It's time to stand (or sit) up straight and be proud of what you have to offer the planet.
