    I just found a company that I am going to work with for the zoo reducing plastic and cardboard for medical waste. Quite excited

      woo hoo! I would have thought this didn’t even exist. unfortunately the medical arena is hard to avoid plastic in. We are trying to always find ways to decrease plastic where we can at the Zoo. always more to do!
