Hot on the heels of their successful tree planting tie-in with the film EARTH, Disney is today launching a new multiplatform environmental initiative that will help kids help the planet. Called “Friends for Change“, the year-long campaign will give kids practical ways to preserve the planet, track each participant’s collective impact and have the opportunity to vote on how $1 million in donations from Disney will be divided and invested in various environmental causes over the course of a year.

As expected, Disney Channel stars are coming out in force to promote the initiative. First up are two commercials from the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. Check them out below — or visit the official site here for more information!

    Going green, well everyone should do it unless you want a crappy lifestyle,
    like all around my yard theres garbage thats not even ours and I snarl in disgust and think that I should’ve rought some gloves or something so the next time i see garbage on the side of the road I will pick it up! And tell your parents that unless its really far away use something other than a motor bike or car (plus it helps u save money) Use a bike or roller blades anything that dosent spit out gasoline to pollute our air and make our trees, flowers and gardens die! We need there air!
    Now that the earth is helping us we need to help the earth by going green and stop polluting our earth!
    But were not thinking about ourselfs here! Were thinking about the people who live on the earth, the earth itself and the kids that have not been born and who want to see the whole world themselfs not on movies or in books but themselfs!
    There going to want to grow up and see the world just like we will!
    But there dream to see the earth my not come if we dont stop polluting and go
    green! WHOS WITH ME!?!?! Come on help me out here! Oh and call me E.J!

    Hi, I am from Panama and I’m sure you read what my best friend Pyper said, It’s all true we even saw people littering, polluting and they didn’t even care!! I’t was horrifing. And when you looked out the window you just saw bottles, cans and paper everywere.

  • Payton

    LET`S MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

    I feel it is important to join this program to help change the world. I heard that if we keep using greenhouse gases, Earth would turn into Venus. Also, the temperatures in the oceans are rising, endangering many sharks.

    What we are doing to help the earth is so awesome Wake up America! Go green!

  • chin sisters

    Erin is Jealous..probably bald too! Jo Bros rock! It’s awesome that they’re using them sexy selves for such an awesome cause! We pledge to do our best to help out! Go Green!!

  • Cathi

    I think the pledge is creepy. It is a move toward a one world/new world order that will usurp all our freedoms with out our intial oppostition because on a “simple” level it sounds “nice”. It’s no different than luring someone into harm with candy. Beware. The Earth has been changinjg since its creation – cold/hot, ice, not; it’s the nature of nature. It is really hubrious of us to think it has to remain perfectly suited to us – that’s the real disrespt to the planet.

  • hope

    friends for change is a great way to save our planet. God said that he has created this planet for humans to take care of. we need to take that responsibility and do it. so thank you disney for helping us take care of our earth!

  • shannon bennett

    My dad owns a four wheeled bike that we pedal around our town, and we’ve had it for about a year now, saving a gallon of gas a month. So far, we’ve put on over 1200 miles on it. I don’t know about you guys, but i think that it is a great way to save fuel. We are also doing everything we can to save the enviroment. After all, we only have on planet earth.
