Our Green Zoo!!!



The Zoo is obviously very green and know's the importance of keeping our planet clean, and now, thanks to MGE's generous donation, the Henry Vilas Zoo now has an earth-friendly concervation vehicle. It's known as the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, or NEV. Since it's electric, the NEV gives off no harmful gases, in fact it gives off no gases at all because it's suited up with a batery that is electrically charged instead of being filled up with gasoline. The batery is high powered as well, being able to go 40 miles until needing a good recharge, going up to 25 miles per hour.
The van comes in great use, hauling educational equiptment and animals for the school programs and more.
The NEV found it's way to the zoo and showed itself to the public during the Zoo's Earth Day Celebration.

It's really fantastic, this amazing van, and it's really helped out the zoo. Thanks MGE!
The Zoo hasn't stopped there by helping our planet. They go much further, and not only by helping the animals, they are saving the earth's energy even more by installing a solar powered "Sun Flower" into the old Flamigo yard. Once again, MGE helped our a lot and they desearve much thanks.
Thanks!
