PLEASE take a moment to sign this petition, particularly if you are in TN. Nashville Zoo is one of my favourite places, and they'll be adding capybaras soon!! Ensure they and all the other incredible animals already living there will have the best future we can give them. c.org/TMWDjP5Mxc

They’re trying to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo Petition here, if you’re so inclined: c.org/KxhXznzBcD

Nashville Zoo

We're asking our community to stand with us in protecting the animals, habitats, people and future of Nashville Zoo.
A proposed 69,000-square-foot data center is planned for property directly adjacent to the Zoo. While developers claim the facility will have no impact, no environmental studies or impact assessments have been conducted to evaluate potential effects on our animals, visitors, staff, or the surrounding community.
Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity and water; straining power grids, depleting natural resources, and damaging our watershed. With nothing more than the word of a profit-seeking developer, how are we to know this new data center will not lead to irreversible damage to the animals we exist to protect?
We cannot afford to find out years from now how this facility has negatively impacted our 1.4 million annual visitors, our local community, or the 3,000 animals entrusting us with their care. We are calling on the Nashville community to join us in our fight to stop this data center from being built, now.
Please sign our petition and say yes to the Zoo by saying no to the new data center

Includes photos of a big cat at the zoo and a photo showing how close the data center would be to the zoo

I recently finished this watercolor illustration of a tiny girl napping among sewing notions. I used to love sewing, and sewed for two decades, but gave it up because my cat, Bowie, will eat anything off the floor and I couldn't risk needles. I still love drawing and painting fiber arts though.
