NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Nashville Zoo will be eliminating single-use plastic water bottles across all on-site beverage locations.
This is reportedly projected to get rid of about 1.1 million single-use plastic water bottles over the next 10 years, representing roughly 10 metric tons (about 22,000 pounds) of plastic waste avoided.
You can now find aluminum canned water and soda as well as fountain beverages served in paper-based cups.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
