Did you know that yesterday was Earth Day?

Every year, a few iSi employees spend the day at the zoo as part of Boeing Earth Day. We’ve become known for our “living necklaces” and kids love to see us there because they know what they’re getting! Each child receives a small test tube with soil in it, they plant a seed, water it, and tie some yarn onto the test tube so that they can wear it around the zoo. Then they hang it in a window when they get home, and when it sprouts, plant it in a little pot. We love hearing the success stories of kids who got their seeds to sprout.

Here are a few pictures of our time at the zoo. How did you celebrate Earth Day?

Kids, kids, and more kids. We hardly got a break!
