The Eco Zoo is a Flash app by ENJIN, Inc. of Japan that features 5 creatures, each with their own flip-book. Contained in these flip-books are stories about the creatures, with not-so-subtle tips about how people can help protect the environment, such as not using disposable plates, and turning out the lights when they’re not needed.

The most impressive part of Eco Zoo is its wonderful environment. Using full 3D effects and cardboard-cutout creatures, it has a playfully fun feel similar to that of the old Paper Mario. It’s something different for Flash and has been used more and more recently for many applications.
