Party for the Planet

I just spent the weekend at the Santa Ana zoo volunteering my time. I had signed up to teach little children about conservation by making crafts.

I had a lot of fun teach kids to make these cootie catchers (that they called conservation catcher), and teaching them how fun it is to save the world. It's amazing how much you learn when you are teach other people about things.

Did you know that if you use your lawn mower on a regular basis for a year, it creates as waste as if you were to drive your car for 86,000 miles. THAT IS RIDICULOUS! I never knew how much waste dry cleaning produced. I generally avoid buying clothing that requires dry cleaning because I think it's inconvenient and expensive, and now I will have another reason.

I had so much at the zoo, and I just find monkeys so adorable. The Santa Ana zoo is known as the zoo with at least 50 monkeys at all time, and it shows. The zoo is very small, and most of the habitats are filled with adorable monkeys. :)
