Happy b'Earth Day!


It's April 22. Earth Day. This is a day when we pause to think about our home planet and what we can do to help make a difference to protect wildlife and wild places. Of course, like so many sentiments, it would be wonderful if we could all think this way every day.

The Walt Disney Company is committed to making a difference every day. Some of the ways you can contribute to Disney's efforts:

Disneynature EARTH - This new "True-Life Adventure" opens in theaters today. Disney has committed to planting a tree in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest for every person who buys a ticket to see the film in its opening week.

Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund - Established on Earth Day 1995, the Fund provides annual awards to U.S. nonprofit conservation organizations. To date, the DWCF has supported more than 750 projects with over $12 million in funding. Disney pays for all administrative costs associated with the Fund, so that every dollar donated by Disney Guests goes directly to the work being done around the world. Make a contribution any time you make a purchase at Disney's Animal Kingdom or The Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot.

Recycle - Recycling containers for cans and bottles can be found throughout Disney's theme parks. The Custodial teams in the parks sort through the trash to try and recover as much recyclable material as possible, but you can help by placing recyclables in the right containers to begin with.
