Disney Go Green: A Family Guide to a Sustainable Lifestyle
I simply love this book! I really didn’t know what to expect when I was asked to read it. I figured it would be a generic “save the world” by turning off lights and recycling, etc. Disney book for the kids with cute illustrations.
Guess what? It was not like that at all! It ended up being such an informative book that I keep it handy for the next step in living a “greener” life.
In Disney’s Mickey & Friends Collection, Go Green! A Family Guide to a Sustainable Lifestyle, Mickey, Minnie and other Disney characters take us on the journey of understanding the role our food plays in living a greener and healthier life. Putting it in Disney form keeps children interested and want to help along in changing our environment.
We were especially interested in starting a container garden to grow our own fruits & vegetables. Other tips include, how to reduce waste by reusing plastic bags and bottles among other things.
There are arts & crafts projects you can make using recyclables and another favorite of ours were the recipes for making your own healthy chips from carrots or kale.We were happy to find out that we were already helping by buying from our local farmers market.
I love how the book is laid out with Disney characters to keep young ones engaged, but so informative for us adults. This is something I can do with the grandchildren and my youngest as well.
Not only does this book teach you about healthly living by changing the way you physically live, but mentally as well. Mickey explains you should have a healthy outlook on life by building quality friendships, volunteer in your community and other activities. It basically tells you that our world needs mentally healthy just as much as environmentally.
A must read for all age levels! You will learn a lot about green living, recipes, craft projects, and tips for getting the most enjoyment out of time in nature that are fun for everyone at any age.
Ellen is a mom of a 25-year-old son and 30-year-old daughter. She is Grandma to one adorable toddler. In what little spare time she has, she loves to read, watch movies, and check out the latest toys and games.
Disney has such a powerful influence worldwide. It is great to see them take steps to make a difference for future generations.
Totally agree. I love this!
I am so very happy that Disney has decided to get on the “green” band wagon. Their influence will definitely make a difference. It will help children to grow up to be “Green” adults!
I read the reviews that said it’s at a higher reading level than usual so good that parents read along with the kids. Love the cover and big Mickey fan so glad he’s now green!
It’s nice to know what such a large company also cares about the environment. Great book for eco friendly families.
What a great book! I love that Disney is getting involved in this great cause – because by doing so, they’re teaching kids as well. And teaching kids is so, so very important. I’m going to get this book!
Love this concept! I like that Disney is reaching out and teaching kids about being green and using Mickey Mouse which is a well loved character to do so!
I agree! Definitely a great thing!
I hadn’t heard about this series before now, but will definitely check it out. I love finding ways that our family can take a step closer to sustainable living.
Thanks! This will definitely encourage my kids to do their part.
