Mission in Action: Houston Zoo’s Plastic Reduction Efforts

Before it became the first zoo in the U.S. to eliminate single-use plastics in dining and retail, Houston Zoo challenged its staff and business partners to phase out single-use plastics to save Texas wildlife. Hear from Zoo leaders and the Zoo’s culinary and retail partners how this effort started, how it evolved with the Zoo’s overall sustainability goals, and what lessons you and your organization can draw from the Zoo’s journey.
