I am a very active zoo visitor; I often go more to a zoo in a week than most people do in year. In all my zoo visits I have learned that animal behavior isnt limited to across a watery moat, steel fencing, or glass window. It goes on everyday in the crowds of visitors which come to the zoo.

When you go to the zoo during your vacation this year, how do you feel about it? Do you view a zoo as a good thing or bad? Do you hate seeing animals in cages? Don't care about animals at all? Think all animals should be in cages? Are you one of those parents who take their kids to the zoo just to get them to shut up? Maybe you should think about it a bit different and see what we are really about to lose in this world of ours.

If you spend any time at all outdoors with a camera, you should try your luck in one (or all) of these contests. Even though the competition may be daunting, it's always worth a try, and there are some really nice prizes up for grabs.

Today more than ever we are living in an environmentally conscious world. In our world today, solar panels are quickly becoming an energy source of choice for many people. The topics of renewable and non-renewable sources of energy are already broadly discussed among our children in grade school. Now due to the recent sharp increase in our energy costs, this is quickly becoming a main topic among adults as well. Now that their budgets are affected, everyone wants to looking at ways to reduce their energy bills.

In a world of rapidly growing technology, Environmental Science needs to stay up to date. Accordingly, scientists from Rushing Rivers Institute have designed models to use these advances in order to combat river degradation. The result is MesoHABSIM, a sophisticated adaptation of previous habitat simulation models to assist river scientists in their habitat simulation as well as future river planning.

Creating a solar powered structure out of your home these days could of at one time been thought as difficult and there are a couple of reasons for that.Many people never get started due to having to get together everything needed to for assembly.

A fun Christmas tradition is to plant a living Christmas tree in your yard and create a legacy for your family, as you watch the tree grow. For families with plenty of land available, you can plant a tree each year, and even name them for special people, like "Nona's tree." Enjoy your decorated tree as the star of your living room for a week before planting it, but before you purchase a living tree, consider the full height that this tiny tree will reach.
