The Walt Disney Company announced today (May 14) Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green, which is “a multiplatform environmental initiative that will help kids help the planet.”
Some of your favorite Disney stars such as Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato (29 total DC stars!) will be participating in sharing the message which will debut on Disney Channel, Disney XD, Radio Disney and Disney.com.
Here’s more information. Be sure and visit http://www.disney.com/projectgreen too:
The Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green initiative invites young people to join together to help the environment across four key areas: climate, water, waste and habitats. Kids will learn practical ways to preserve the planet, track their collective impact and have the opportunity to vote on how $1 million in donations from Disney will be divided and invested in various environmental causes over the course of a year.
This is very exciting news! I am all about doing something and spreading the message on taking better care of our planet. I think this is a fantastic idea.
You can get more information, like when the messages will start airing and what you can do for our planet by working together, below.
Beginning Friday, May 15, Disney Channel and Radio Disney will air the first in a year-long series of on-air messages that will feature Disney Channel stars challenging kids to join them in registering and pledging environmental stewardship by making small changes in their daily actions that can positively impact the world around them.
If 500,000 kids participate in Disney Friends for Change: Project Green events, together they can:
o Prevent approximately 100,000 tons of CO2 per year from polluting the air by adjusting their home thermostats.
o Save 5 million gallons of water in a single day by reducing shower times.
o Prevent 1 million pounds of waste from entering landfills by bringing trash-free lunches for a week.
o Create new habitats for local animals by planting 500,000 trees.
Kids can pledge to join online at Disney.com where they’ll commit to take simple everyday actions, such as turning off the lights and switching to reusable water bottles, and find out more about why these actions matter. Through the online community, kids will be able to invite friends to join, interact with one another and take pride in the results of their efforts as their collective impact on the planet is tallied and their votes determine the distribution of charitable contributions.
Climate, water, waste and habitat will each be highlighted for three months, culminating in quarterly events where on a designated day, kids will be encouraged to act in unison on a single task such as adjusting home thermostats or reducing water usage. These events will be tracked online and on air as kids report back on their actions. Kids will also help determine how Disney will donate $1 million to environmental organizations over the course of a year to plant trees, preserve the rainforest, help endangered animals and support alternative energy among other causes.

Hi, my name is Lauren Marks. I am in 8th grade at Saligman Middle School in Elkins Park PA. I have been assigned a project about music that affects/reflects society. I have chosen Disney’s Friends For Change anthem Send it On.
I would like to interview you (or your associate) to find out more information about this year-long project. I am preparing a list of questions to ask you. This assignment is due later in November.
I am hoping you will find some time in your busy schedule to speak with me on the phone one day during the week. I go to school everyday until 4:30 PM EST. Perhaps we can arrange a specific time after school for me to call you.
What day of the week is best for you in the first week of November?
I appreciate hearing from you sometime later in this week, as my teacher has requested us to provide the time of our interview at the end of this week.
For the first part of my assignment I need to know the
1) NAME OF PERSON TO INTERVIEW
2) TITLE
3) DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME OF INTERVIEW
4) CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBER
Thank you very much for your cooperation. This sounds like a fascinating project and I am excited to share it with the entire student body at my school.
