Wow!!! Saturday was such a gorgeous day!!! Hope you did something fun :) We spent the day the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It was perfect! And the animals were having so much fun. One of the grizzly bears gave us a show.he came right up to the glass and opened his mouth where some kids were standing. So crazy!! Of course, I couldn t get my camera open fast enough to get video :( Then one of the orangutans was playing with a sheet while hanging upside down on a rope. It was hysterical. I love our zoo so much! if you love it too, remember to VOTE! CMZoo and Rocky Mountain Wild are once again nominated for Best Zoo and Best Zoo Exhibit in North America, in USA TODAY s 10Best Readers Choice Awards! We need them to be number one! :)
We must curtail more than fossil fuels in climate battle
We have reduced our carbon footprint by curtailing travel and our thermostat. We recycle. But we can do so much more by cutting our consumption of animal meat and milk products. Yes, that.
A recent article in The Guardian argues that animal agriculture is a major driver of climate change, as well as air and water pollution, depletion of soil and water resources, and destruction of wildlife habitats. Oxford University s prestigious Food Climate Research Network reports that solving the global warming catastrophe requires massive shift to plant-based eating. The Netflix feature Seaspiracy documents the devastating environmental impacts of the fishing industry.
