Disney Superstars Prompt Kids To Go Green

Posted Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:36pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Video Ga Ga

More than 350,000 kids have registered for Disney's Friends For Change: Project Green. The program asks youth to pledge to help conserve water, reduce waste, and curb pollution.

Disney has enlisted 29 of its biggest stars to bring attention to the program. Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato have recorded a song and video for "Send It On," the program's anthem.

The three verses of the song are performed as separate duets. Miley and former beau Nick Jonas sing the first verse, and are followed by Demi and Joe Jonas, and Selena and Kevin Jonas, respectively.

 

The lyrics encourage listeners to go green to help the environment. The chorus includes phrases such as "be a part, reach a heart," and "with one little action, the chain reaction will never stop."

Participants help Disney determine how to spend "more than $1 million that will be donated to environmental causes over the next year," according to a press release.

"If the kids who have already reported back on their progress keep up with their pledges over the next year, a potential 38 million pounds of carbon dioxide will be prevented from polluting the atmosphere-the equivalent of taking 3164 cars off the road every day for a year," a spokesperson said in a statement.

Eliza! Put the keyboard don and back away from the computer. Goodgravy thats the same thing over and over!You want ot stop carbon dioxide emmisions? Stop breahting! If CO2 is so bad for the world why isnt it a regulated substance and considered a haszardous material? Oh thats right, it ISNT! I hear the clock ticking and its reaching 14 minutes 59 seconds on some of these kids 15 minutes of fame, now if that second hand would tick just one more spot.

AP - Noisy crowds in smoky bars don't bother 96-year-old bluesman Pinetop Perkins. It's all part of his job. Most nights, after he snuffs out his menthol cigarette, Perkins slides onto the piano bench in some club and … More »
