Disneynature Giveaway: Celebrating Earth Day With James Earl Jones
Earth Day is a fantastic holiday. I’ve heard folks say that it’s the most celebrated secular holiday ever.
This year to celebrate Earth Day Disneynature, Disney’s new independent film label, will release their first film, Earth. Earth is narrated by James Earl Jones and tells the remarkable story of three animal families and their amazing journey across the planet we all call home. Earth combines rare action, unimaginable scale and impossible locations by capturing the most intimate moments of our planet’s wildest and most elusive creatures. Directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, the acclaimed creative team behind the Emmy Award-winning “Planet Earth” series combine forces again to bring this epic adventure to the big screen, beginning Earth Day 2009. To celebrate the film’s theatrical release, Disneynature will be planting a tree in the endangered Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest in honor of every person who sees the film during its opening week!

Watch my daughter go to her prom in an eco-friendly dress and apparel - driven in a hybrid car… she loves saving the planet but has to meet her social committments
We are planning to plant some flowers, spend the entire week TV free, and visit a real greenhouse!
I want to devote some special time with my little ones this Earth Day to really connect with our natural world. My boys love to be outside and have started really understanding about “reduce, reuse, recycle” and I want to foster their love for our planet and its inhabitants.
We will be making an even greater effort to be green that day but have made many chnages this month like:
* taking the max to work instead of driving
* use reusable sandwich boxes for school lunches
* no papertowel use - cloth napkins and towels only, even for clean up
* no more daily coffee (cup)
* a list of green crafts and activities for the kids
But on Earth Day, we’re looking forward to checking out the Earth movie with friends.
On this Earth Day, I want to spend the day appreciating… well, earth.
Starting off the morning at the beach in San Diego, hiking to the nearby cliffs, and then to the movies- to watch Earth. 
We will be taking our 11 month old son for a picnic at the Maine Audubon Society and then home to continue planting our garden. We want this earth to be his playground and his kids playground, and their kids and so on… Therefore we must teach him how to love, protect and nurture it.
I’ll be at work, but I’m creating a display case in my library in honor of Earth Day. Our “new books” case will also be filled with all books on how to be more green.
I am going to an earth day celebration in town and then we will plant 2 trees in our yard
Working in our organic, compost-fed garden, shopping at Goodwill and using yard-sale fabric to make new drapes to keep out the coming summer sun and lower heating bills.
Happy Earth Day, everyone!
We are planning on going to a nature center in our area. They are having an Earth Day event with bird show, puppet show, activities, local music and food.
