Green Mickey: Disney plans zero-gas emissions
The Walt Disney Co said on Monday that it planned to cut carbon emissions from fuels by half by 2012, and ultimately to achieve net zero direct greenhouse gas emissions at its office and retail complexes, theme parks and cruise lines.
Disney also set a long-term goal to cut to zero the amount of waste it sends to landfills - which totaled nearly 300,000 tons in 2006, much of it from construction, through diverting some to recycling centers, composting and buying more post-consumer recycled materials.
The company pledged to reduce water use as well as emissions and waste associated with the manufacture, transport, use and disposal of Disney products.
