How much energy does lighting account for on the average home electric bill?1 percent10 percent30 percent70 percent
Question: Do you know?• How much energy does lighting account for on the average
home electric bill?– 1 percent– 10 percent– 30 percent– 70 percent
Overview: Do you know?
• The benefits of using a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) instead of an incandescent light bulb?– CFLs use approximately
75% less energy– CFLs last almost 10 times
longer– CFLs give off one-quarter
as much heat
Energy Efficiency Programs

Building a Sustainable Zoo
What is Conservation?
•Animals•Habitats•Resources
What is Sustainability?
“,,, able to be maintained”
•The capacity to endure•The ability to provide for the needs of the present without detracting from the ability to serve the needs of the future•Sound business practice, corporate social responsibility
What’s the Deal?
What are we doing and why?• Reducing energy, resource, and
water consumption• Increasing use of alternative energy
sources, increase diversion from the landfill
• Board approved policy statement - 2008
• Board-level Carbon Neutral/Zero Waste Task Force - 2010
Sustainability Policy
Recognizing its impact on all stakeholders,
the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium will develop a world class sustainability program leading to the meaningful reduction of its carbon footprint.
- Adopted by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Executive and Appointed Board, December 2008
What happens at home?
• 580 acres of land• Over 10,000 individual animals in our
care• More than 1.9 million guests visited
in 2012
Areas of Concentration
Waste Reduction
•Reuse old wetsuits as protective gear for animal handling
•Reuse celery and/or grocery bags as well as the rubber bands that hold broccoli bunches together
•Deliver food to animal areas in reusable containers
•Use barrels and trashcans rather than trash bags to collect soiled bedding
•Put up dry erase boards for checklists and communication
•Save handles to broken tools so they can be reused with new heads.
