One of the plus sides of summer season, I get treats and he gets new grass to mow

Happy July 4th! I hope everyone has a cool and safe holiday weekend. The reptiles may love this heat but my butt’s not leaving the couch in front of the AC 😂

Summer is here and with it comes our packed summer schedule! To kick off summer reading season we’ll be at Castleton library tomorrow at noon and East Greenbush library Wednesday night at 6:30

This stuff is straight evil. DO NOT USE AI, ESPECIALLY IF YOU CALL YOURSELF AN “EDUCATOR”!! I’ve seen so many individuals or groups claiming to be environmental/wildlife educators using ai for their posters and promo things, especially reptile expos. Using AI to answer your questions or make silly, dumb photos of you to post for likes is a huge part of the problem. Anyone against these data centers (including the big one they’re trying to build right here in Albany) needs to stop using any form of gen AI because it is catastrophic for the animal, nature, and communities suffering around these monstrosities being built. It uses up water, dries out the land to practically being unusable, and will kill entire ecosystems and leave an arid nothingland behind.

We've confirmed the proposed data center adjacent to Nashville Zoo may be much larger than initially presented.

The planning documents reference a second building that could exceed 202,000 square feet (3x larger than the first) with a 40-megawatt capacity, along with an electrical substation. Combined, that's up to 50 megawatts of power capacity, enough to power up to 50,000 homes.

Because of these concerns, Nashville Zoo has taken its first legal step. Our Land Use Attorney and former Metro Codes Director, Bill Herbert, has filed a zoning appeal seeking to overturn the permits approved for the project.

Please continue contacting Metro Nashville Council Members and Mayor O'Connell and encourage them to support BL2026-1391.

We also ask our community to attend the Planning Commission Public Hearing on Thursday, June 11 at 4 p.m. at 700 President Ronald Reagan Way and speak in support of Council Member Rollin Horton's BL2026-1391.

We need to do everything we can to stop this data center from being built next to Nashville Zoo. Why does a project of this scale need to be located directly adjacent to some of the most endangered animals in the world? Until those questions are fully answered and the impacts are understood, we must continue speaking up. The potential consequences are too significant, and any damage could be irreversible.
