06/25/2008: "Disney and the environment"
Regarding the environmental undertones of Wall•E, an article on O-Meon examines the efforts (and in some cases, lack of effort) of the Disney company to conserve energy and resources. The story notes the absence of any significant solar power use in Disney’s theme parks as well as the large vehicles driven during the premier of Wall•E . However, successful energy-saving programs are also mentioned, including Disney’s “Stride for Five”, which was praised for conserving a very large amount of electricity.
