Climate change is everywhere. Fortunately, there are also plenty of things you can do to contribute. For example, Blijdorp has a huge underground basin where rainwater is stored. This saves Blijdorp 75,000 (!) bathtubs of tap water per year! We had the opportunity to develop an object together with students from the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences that allows visitors to discover how well they manage water themselves. Answer the questions about your water usage and find out how waterproof you are based on the animal medals. Want to improve yourself? Scan the QR code and find out how!
FUNFACT
This is one of the few objects that is actually shining in the rain! *Drops mic*. 😎
