Shanghai Disney Resort to launch Earth Month celebration
Additionally, the inaugural Youth Environmental Inspiration Program, jointly launched with the Shanghai Science and Education Development Foundation, will announce its top three winning teams during the forum, encouraging innovative student solutions for environmental challenges.
From April 18-22, the Celebrate Earth Month Fair will be held at Disney town, featuring interactive activities focusing on waste sorting, water conservation, and nature exploration. National Geographic and local nonprofit organizations will participate in the fair, and park visitors who show Earth-conscious behaviors may receive limited-edition themed stickers.
In mid-April, over 100 Disney volunteers and their families will conduct a cleanup at Shanghai Binjiang Forest Park, where the estuary of the Yangtze River is located, to combat plastic pollution and marine debris.
In addition, the resort underscored its environmental progress, including biodiversity efforts such as documenting 129 bird species through a decade of the bird-watching program. As of mid-March, renewable energy initiatives have seen 3,921 solar panels installed across 24 buildings, generating 2.69 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and reducing carbon emissions by 1,127.4 tons. The transition to fully electric shuttle buses is projected to cut annual emissions by about 1,000 tons.
Moreover, the resort has also integrated sustainability into its entertainment offerings, featuring Xiaotui, a talking recycling bin, and Jammitors, a performance that transforms recycling tools into musical instruments to promote waste sorting awareness.
