Learn how to make your own compost and how to make recycling a cinch. Plus, the folks at Tulsa Zoo are still celebrating APE-ril, so be sure to cruise down Ape Avenue to do a little monkeying around and test your ape aptitude. Bring an old cell phone to recycle and get half off the price of admission the day of Party for the Planet (one discount per phone). Every phone donated not only saves the planet, but also benefits your Zoo.
