Disney’s Friends For Change: Project Green has just launched its second year with new videos and promo shots from some of your favorite Disney stars. The project focuses on kid-frindly ways to save the planet.
Beginning on May 30th, new on-air messages will begin airing from Disney celebs on Disney Channel and Disney XD. The project features nearly 40 Disney Stars including stars from “JONAS,” “Camp Rock,” “Sonny With A Chance,” “Good Luck Charlie,” “The Suite Life On Deck,” “Wizards of Waverly Place” and more! In addition you will be able to hear the celeb spots on Radio Disney as well as on www.Disney.com/projectgreen
Jennifer Anopolsky, Senior Vice President of Corporate Responsibility at the Walt Disney Company said about the project:
With Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green, kids are discovering that helping the planet is easy and fun when they work together and have the right tools. In just one year, participation has exceeded our wildest expectations, and we’re building on that momentum by extending Friends for Change to kids in other parts of the world and enhancing the program with fresh new content, local community events, and more grant money that will empower kids with even more ways to get involved.
In just one year kids have made nearly 2 million personal promises to change the daily routine thanks to Disney’s Friends For Change: Project Green. The pledges include:
- Cut 70,000 tons of carbon emissions annually
- Reduce/recycle 2.4 million pounds of trash annually
- Save 120 million gallons of water per month
With the help of fans, Disney has donated more than $1 million to 25 environmental projects in 15 countries, including:
- $50,000 to the National Resource Council to help fund a forest restoration project in Costa Rica.
- $25,000 to the African Wildlife Foundation to help protect elephant habitats in Zambia.
Disney’s Friends For Change: Project Green is set to expand locally and globally in the next year:
- Local events in cities across the country will inspire kids through hands-on experiences, including tree-planting and clean-ups. The first event kicks off June 6th, World Oceans Day, at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.
- Disney’s Friends for Change: Project Green launched last month in Latin America. Kids have already made more than 200,000 promises! European markets are next in line.

How do i become part of friends for change? i LOVE the idea
A Really cool picture of all the disney stars together!
how do I become parte of friends for a change and what can I do???
stop being so redundant people!! wake up and smell the coffee. These people are nothing more than a big group of hollywood liars. In addition, to not having any knowledge, they did not graduate from high school. Plus they don’t care about nobody eles but themselves, and they expect everybody else to do their chores that makes me sick! Do not become people who are easy to lie to because of the clean images you see on television it’s all a joke. If they really cared about saving this planet then they would leave hollywood, stop being so lazy, and stop being such hypocritical liars I think they all are. If this “friends for change project” is fake there will be horrific consequences against the “disney channel stars” believe that!!!
THEY ALL LOOK NICE
This is really cool, how can i sign up 2 make pledges?
