Keep Your Home Ecofriendly
We're celebrating Earth Week at Shedd April 20-26 with special giveaways, free programs and animal encounters. You can celebrate at home, with these tips to keep your home environmentally friendly:
At Shedd we use ecofriendly cleaning products for the safety of our animals. Try our favorite green cleaner at home by mixing two parts vinegar and one part water to keep your surfaces sparkling.
At Shedd some of our animals eat vegetables grown on area farms. At home shop for seasonal local produce at your local farmers market to support small farms that are keeping our environment healthy. Bonus points for buying organic!
At Shedd we capture rain on our roof to water our gardens. At home use a rain barrel or plant a rain garden to keep rainwater on your lawn or garden and out of our sewers.
At Shedd we use organic compost on our garden. At home create your own compost pile or start a worm bin to produce chemical-free fertilizer.
