In preparation for Earth Day, Disney Channel stars recently visited TreePeople in Los Angeles and shared ideas on how kids can help the environment by making small changes in their own homes and neighborhoods.
Following are "green tips" Disney Channel stars shared with the kids and families:
- David Henrie ("Wizards of Waverly Place"): Don't leave the lights on in your room.
- Jason Dolley ("Cory in the House"): "Take shorter showers."
- Emily Osment ("Hannah Montana"): "Use energy-saving light bulbs."
- Maiara Walsh ("Cory in the House"): "Recycle everything from newspaper to aluminum cans."
- Alyson Stoner ("Phineas and Ferb): "Use every inch of both sides of the paper while taking class notes."
- Selena Gomez ("Wizards of Waverly Place"): "Spend time planting vegetables and pretty flowers."
- Mitchel Musso ("Hannah Montana"): "Shop for vintage clothing."
GREEN MATTERS: We are the change we’ve been waiting for!
PURPOSE: The “Green Matters” event is a grassroots organized one-day mass donation with the sole purpose of bringing the ENVIRONMENT into the forefront of the 2008 Presidential race.
HOW IT WORKS: The “mainstream media” has proven in this election cycle that they will cover how much money the Presidential candidates can, or have raised. Therefore, a massive donation organized around environmental issues, by individuals concerned with the state of the planet, and on a nationally celebrated day of environmental awareness (Earth Day) will penetrate the national dialogue, once again moving the environment to the forefront of Presidential politics.
WHO BENEFITS: Everyone benefits when our environmental issues are discussed on a national stage, therefore anyone concerned about the future of our planet is encouraged to participate in this event regardless of race, age, gender, or political affiliation. However, this event has been organized by independent grassroots supporters of Barack Obama and all donations benefit the Obama campaign. As President, Barack Obama will reduce carbon emissions, encourage developments in clean energy, support next generation biofuels, work to gain oil independence, improve energy efficiency in buildings and restore U.S. leadership on climate change.
By making the Green Matters pledge, you will receive an e-mail reminder the day of donation, Earth Day – April 22nd, 2008.
You are the change the Earth’s been waiting for…make the pledge now at www.envirobama.com/greenmatters and on Earth Day 2008 tell the world that Green Matters!
Visit www.envirobama.com for in-depth discussion about Barack Obama’s environmental record and policy proposals.

SMART TIP: Recycle all that you can. It may sound obvious, but it is surprising how much people still throw away.

Agreed. Some folks use push/pull, and some of this comes from the "permission markeitng" concept from Seth Godin from about a decade ago. I also agree with you that social media and the ability to have a conversation (like this one) change the game. So maybe we need a new term?
You have some good points, and the best one might be that I prefer to debate less and do more marketing! If you are ever in Boston, look me up and I'll give you a tour of the HubSpot offices and buy you a coffee.
