Songkhla Zoo chimp can do without plastic, thanks

Songkhla Zoo chimp can do without plastic, thanks

If Jon the chimpanzee understands that it’s better to use canvas bags than plastic ones, a lot more humans ought to be catching on.

The chimp is putting on daily shows at the Songkhla Zoo in which his caretakers hold signs saying “Let’s use a bio bag” and “Stop plastic”.
The highlight comes when Jon walks into a stage set where there are both plastic bags and canvas bags and chooses a canvas one – to the cheers and applause of the audience.
Getting the message across isn’t all serious, though.

The chimp at one point produces a plastic bottle and drinks syrup from it. Then he dances expertly to rhythmic music.
The show is in response to a Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment request for businesses in every sector to help curb plastic waste.
