BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag)

 

We’re making Halloween a little spookier and more sustainable! Help us reduce waste by bringing your own reusable bag for trick-or-treating. By using your own bag, you’re keeping single-use plastics out of landfills and making a positive impact on our planet.

 

Let’s work together to make sure that while the candy flows, the waste doesn’t! Small steps like this make a big difference for wildlife and the environment. Thanks for being a part of our eco-friendly Boo at the Zoo!
