How do EcoZoo's projects help the environment?
Our seed paper utilizes California native seeds. These plants are drought resistant, meaning they use less water; support biodiversity, because native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are attracted; and help post-wildwife landscapes by stabilizing the soil and controlling invasive weeds.
Did you know that paper accounts for about 26% of our landfills? This means that what could be recycled breaks down there and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Furthermore, both energy and resources are wasted in making new items that could have been made from recycled materials. By promoting and teaching aboout reusing and recycling, we prevent paper from going to the landfill, combating global warming.
