Environment and Global Conservation at SeaWorld.

SeaWorld and Entertainment are not just theme parks,they contribute to educating their guests on the welfare of the planet and how to conserve wildlife and the creatures of the oceans. They are hands on with rescuing and caring for animals, having various projects around the world. In their parks they are very aware of the amount of rubbish that guests generate each year and are attempting to eliminate much of this by introducing paper bags instead of plastic to help cut down on the waste that is building up our planet and seeping into the ocean endangering marine life. As leading conservationist this is an important commitment to take. Also in conjunction with The Coca-Cola Company, paper cups are being used that have 85 percent renewable material, another way of keeping down the accelerating waste problem.
