Follow on Google News | Local Companies Celebrate Conservation at the Atascadero ZooThe Charles Paddock Zoo celebrates the third annual Conservation Celebration
By: Christine Gorney “Solarponics feels that if the world is going to shift towards renewables, then it must begin with educating the youth. Once our future leaders understand the impact of their actions and recognize that the solutions are available, we can begin to move forward. So when we get the opportunity to educate our local youth, we love to take advantage of it,” said Kristian Emrich, vice president of Solarponics. Workshops, talks and activities were put on by the zoo and vendors. Activities ranged from face painting and other arts and crafts, to learning how to create a butterfly garden and converting a sprinkler system into a drip system. Six local businesses participated in the event. Jaime Lien Hendrickson, conservation manager at the Charles Paddock Zoo, said the businesses were a critical part in connecting the nonprofit educational outreach with service providers in the green building industry. “Part of the zoo’s mission is to be a provider of educational resources for wildlife awareness and conservation. In keeping with our mission, we present local organizations that are dedicated to conservation to our zoo visitors in a fun and interesting atmosphere,” # # # Solarponics is the Central Coast’s alternative energy pioneer, helping residents achieve energy independence for over 35 years. The longest continuously owned and operated solar company in California, Solarponics has been family owned and operated since 1975. Solarponics can install and service solar electric systems, solar hot water, wind energy systems, solar pool heating and radiant heating systems.
