Hey you have until October 31st to see the Creatures of Habitat - A
Gazillion Piece animal Adventure exhibit at the Philadelphia Zoo!
Many amazing animals in Lego sculpture! One of them is the Golden
Lion Tamarin. I bet your kid will comment how cute it is!
Well their habitat - the Forests of Rio de Janeiro are being cut
down. You can make a difference. You know all those receipts, mail
and papers you just throw away? Instead RECYCLE all of it! The less
paper we use the fewer trees will be cut down. Thanks for helping!

Having a good summer? You should go to the Philadelphia Zoo and
check out - Creatures of Habitat: A Gazillion Piece Animal Adventure
exhibit.
Did you get a sunburn this summer? You know how the Harlequin Frog
feels. He deals with a skin disease called Chytrid. He also deals
with his habitat being bulldozed. He lives in the rain forest in
Ecuador. Farmers want to use the land for Palm plantations. What can
you do? Snack foods and cosmetics use palm oil. Try to use products
that don't have palm oil in them. Also, pesticides in our garden can
be a problem for our local frogs. Try native plants that don't need
peticides.

So your you running out of ideas on how to entetain the kids during
the summer? Take them to the Philadelphia Zoo and check out the
Creature of Habitat - A Gazillion Piece Animal Adventure exhibit.
The Humboldt Penguin is one of the animals you will see in Lego
sculpture. They live in Peru and Chile and are fighting over-fishing
by man. What did you have for lunch or dinner lately? Eating the
same kind of fish can lead to over-fishing and then these fish will
be gone. What can you do? Download a seafood watch card at

A friend of mine was wowed when she visited the Philadelphia Zoo and
saw the Creatures of Habitat - A Gazillion Piece Animal Adventure
exhibit! She said the live size Lego sculptures were the coolest
things she has ever seen! You have until October 31st to see it!
The Lowland Gorilla sculpture... in her words... Massive! These
animals live in the forests in Congo Africa. Their habitat is
disappearing and they are facing extinction! Do your part. RECYCLE
everything! Newspapers, receipts, mail - the less paper you and I
use - hopefully the less their forest will be cut down. Every little
bit helps! Thanks!

Can you believe it is August already? Wow! You have until October
31st to see the Creatures of Habitat - A Gazillion Piece Animal
Adventure at the Philadelphia Zoo!
One of the animals you can check out in full Lego sculpture is the
Diamondback Terrapin. Want to help this animal out? First do not
litter! The Diamondback Terrapin lives in marshlands of the Jersey
Shore. Please watch out for others who toss garbage out their
windows while driving.
You drive down the shore right? Please watch your speed. The female
Diamondback Terrapin crosses the road all the time! Thanks for doing
your part!

So have you bee saying... man it's hot! Imagine if you were a Polar
Bear! Check out the Polar Bear and the other Lego sculpture animals
at the Philadelphia Zoo!
The Polar Bear lives in the Artic Circle and its habitat is melting.
You can change this. Do you turn off the lights when you leave the
room? How about the TV? Do you power down your computer? You get the
idea, right?! Reduce your energy use and cool down the planet.
Thanks for helping!

It is the middle of Summer and if you are looking for a fun
and educational place to go... take the kids to the Philadelphia
Zoo! The Creatures of Habitat exhibit - A Gazillion Piece Animal
Adventure is a cool thing to see! A very, very cute animal that is
part of it is the Golden Lion Tamarin.
The Golden Tamarin lives in the forests of Rio De Janeiro. The
biggest threat they are facing is deforestation. So what can you and
I do? Recycle any of not all paper we use. Newspapers, credit card
receipts, copes we make at school and work. The less paper we need
the fewer trees are cut down. Thanks for doing your part!

Summertime and the living is easy. Vacations, lounging by the pool,
going down the shore. Dealing with sunburn! Imagine having to deal
with a deadly skin disease! The Harlequin Frog knows what it is
like. It deals with Chrytrid fungus.
It also has to deal with pesticides that you and I use in our
gardens. You should use natural chemicals. In their home habitat in
Ecuador the rain forests where they live are being bulldozed.
Farmers are then using that land for Palm plantations. Please check
the snack foods and cosmetics you use that ham palm oil in them. Try
to use brands that Don't!

So what's for dinner tonight? What you eat can affect
the Humboldt Penguin. Go to the Philadelphia Zoo and check
out Creatures of Habitat- A Gazillion Piece Animal Adventure
exhibit. The Lego brick sculptures of these animals are phenomenal!
Over
fishing by us is the main thing hurting the Humboldt Penguin. If we
keep catching the same fish and eating them they will disappear and
so will the Humboldt Penguin's food! Download a Seafood Watch Card
at
www.philadelphiazoo.org/creatures and do your part!

What
can you do? Do you recycle? I recycle everything. Try it! All those
newspapers, water bottles, cans, etc! Your kids will love to help.
Make it a family project!

down the shore any time soon? Do the Diamondback Terrapin a favor
and Slow Down! These animals live in the Jersey marshlands on the
shore and regularly cross the street! If you drive too fast you may
run them over!

garbage into your house, right? Either do the Diamondback Terrapins!

can you and I do to help the environment? Turn stuff off that you

bring Big results! Thanks for helping!

The
Golden Lion Tamarin lives in the forests in Rio de Janiero. Only
about 2% of the forests remain. The main threat... Deforestation.
What can you and I do? Recycle all paper, even those ATM and credit
card slips. Bring it all to those shredder places they recycle the
paper. The less paper you and I use the fewer trees need to be cut
down!

of Lego bricks. Check out the Harlequin Frog by the Reptile and
Amphibian House! The Rain Forests where they lived are being
bulldozed by farmers who use the land for Palm Plantations.
Do
you use Palm oil? Probably. It is in snack foods and cosmetics among
other things. Use less of these products and you will help the
Harlequin Frog and other animals who live in the Rain Forest! See my
picture near the Lego Polar!

Hey if you love animals then you and the kids will LOVE the

A Polar Bear, Diamond back Terrapin, and a Penguin and more!
How are you helping out the environment? I am recycling all my mail
and papers that I use. Less stuff in the landfills! What can you do?
Turn off stuff. That way you will use less energy- coal and gas.
That means less carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere. In turn
less Global Warming and less melting of the Arctic Circle where the
Polar Bear lives! Think about it!

Animal species!
