According to The Walt Disney Company's Corporate Environmental Affairs Department...

• More than 10 years ago, Walt Disney World was recognized as a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "Energy Star Partner" for implementing significant energy savings throughout the property. Participating in the EPA's Green Lights program saved enough energy to power Disney's Animal Kingdom in its first year of operation.

   

• Disney's Environmentality Challenge, our environmental youth education program, has over the last 15 years engaged 1.5 million children in projects benefiting the environment, bringing big benefits to their communities.

   

• In November 2008, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment launched the Disney/Pixar Wall-E DVD packaged in recyclable paperboard. The internal tray and paper inserts are made from 30% and 100% post-consumer recycled content material, respectively.

   

• The Disney Store's European distribution center has taken an active role in seeking to reduce its environmental impact through a variety of actions relating to transportation, recycling, composting, sourcing local foods and other areas. These initiatives have delivered real progress. For example, the distribution center has cut energy consumption by over 38% since last year and solar panels provide hot water for over nine months of the year.
