Disney takes actions to protect the planet

The Walt Disney Company has drawn inspiration from the beauty of the world we share for than a century, and has taken steps to help people and wildlife all across the world live healthier lives. This includes things like lowering our carbon footprint, caring for species and their habitats, and telling tales that motivate others to take action. These activities are dubbed Disney Planet Possible because they are concrete steps we are taking to put possibility into action and inspire hope for a better, more sustainable future.

Throughout April, Disney will be spotlighting their commitments and activities, as well as sharing stories of how others are making a difference.

Disney invites everyone to share photographs of what gives them hope for the future of our planet with the hashtag #DisneyPlanetPossible to help us imagine what's possible, throughout the Earth month.

The Walt Disney Company established aspiring 2030 Environmental Goals in December 2020, including reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions for our direct operations, decreasing waste, building more sustainably, and designing packaging and products that help us leave a smaller carbon footprint. It has been progressing since then. 

In conjunction with local electricity companies, Disney announced two additional solar facilities that would open near Walt Disney World Resort in 2023. These facilities, together with current solar sources, will provide up to 40% of the resort's yearly electricity requirements. Solar panels were erected at Castaway Cay and Hong Kong Disneyland by Disney. Disney avoided landfills by diverting 61 percent of its overall operational trash. For a range of vintage dolls, Disney introduced plastic-free packaging.

The Disney Conservation Fund has committed over $120 million since 1995 to help protect over 1,000 species, empower community heroes, and provide millions of children throughout the world with environmental experiences. Disney cast members continue to lead the charge for biodiversity protection in Disney's backyard and beyond through Disney Conservation Team Wildlife, which includes efforts to provide habitat for monarch butterflies in California and purple martin birds in Florida, protect sea turtles outside of Disney's Vero Beach Resort, and restore coral reefs at Disney's Castaway Cay in the Bahamas.

This Earth Month, Disney's streaming services and television networks are using the power of storytelling to encourage people to connect with our planet and those who live on it. With its Earth Month collection, which explores the diversity of our planet, Disney+ will take viewers on a voyage around the world. On April 22, Disneynature's Polar Bear and National Geographic's Explorer: The Last Tepui, as well as National Geographic's The Biggest Little Farm: The Return, are among the new releases. In addition, ABC News will broadcast Hidden Climate Heroes, an Earth Day special featuring people and organisations who are making a difference in their communities by addressing climate change. Furthermore, as part of National Geographic's Earth Month campaign, major stories centred on the topic "Explore and Restore" will be highlighted.
