In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, today Disney Store introduced a new line of eco-friendly products. New fashionable “Save Planet Earth” totes are available now at Disney Store locations nationwide and on DisneyStore.com, and a portion of the proceeds from its sales will benefit The Nature Conservancy‘s “Adopt a Coral Reef” program. For each tote sold Disney Store will contribute $1 through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to help save our oceans by protecting vital coral reefs.
Disney Store’s exclusive “Save Planet Earth” eco-friendly product assortment with the lovable three-eyed green alien from Disney-Pixar Toy Story will be available through Earth Day and includes:
• Fashionable totes, made from seven recycled bottles that have been cleaned, smashed, melted and reused
• Children and adult sized T-shirts made from 100% organic cotton with the messages “Save Planet Earth” and “Love”
• Green reusable aluminum bottles
• Journals made from recycled paper and organic cotton
• And a new exclusive Toy Story plush alien to commemorate this special occasion
Earth Day is nearing, and this year even some of the very youngest children can do their part.
PBS Kids Sprout and DECODE Enterprises have announced the exclusive U.S. launch of dirtgirlworld, the first green living series for preschoolers. “Sprout’s Dig Into Earth Day with dirtgirlworld” marathon will air on Sprout from 12 to 3 pm ET on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22. The three-hour block will feature select episodes of this eco-friendly new series that was designed to introduce preschoolers to the joys of outdoor play and sustainable, green living. Games, crafts, and environmentally friendly tips for parents will be available online. After its Earth Day debut, dirtgirlworld will continue to air on Sprout in its new daily timeslot at 4:50 pm ET.
dirtgirlworld shares an environmental message, explores the natural world, and invites the audience to “go get grubby” with dirtgirl, a gumboot-wearing girl who grows awesome tomatoes, knows clouds’ names, and drives a big orange tractor.
The dirtgirlworld team is committed to pursuing the best possible environmental business practices to reduce dirtgirlworld’s eco-footprint. A percentage of production costs have already been reserved to establish the dirtgirlworld foundation, which will be added to partners’ carbon offsetting contributions to fund local projects that support children to live more environmentally sustainable lives.
