Carbon-free Disney

If your birthday usually inspires dread, this year you have something to look forward to, since Disneyland is offering free park admission to birthday boys and girls of all ages. If a free day with Mickey doesn’t put a smile on your face, there’s more good news coming. Disney has committed to cutting carbon emissions all the way down to zero. And we’re not just talking about Disney’s theme parks; the multi-billion-dollar corporation will also be curbing carbon in its offices, retail stores, and cruise lines. Although no official deadline has been set, the company plans to look toward alternative energy sources and clean electricity suppliers in order to halve its current output by 2012. Believe it or not, the “happiest place on earth” just got a little happier!
