The Animals Save the Planet
Stanley the Cow, Norman the Hippo, Freda the Orangutan, and a host of other creative creatures are out to save the planet. Discovery Communications has launched animalssavetheplanet.com, a website for children and adults alike, where a cast of Wallace-and-Gromit-style plasticine characters offer common-sense tips on what we can do to help soften our carbon footprint. The website's powered by solar energy, consuming 60% less energy and generating 50% less heat than conventional websites powered by non-renewable energy sources. Through twelve different animated shorts, animalssavetheplanet.com encourages viewers to reduce carbon emissions, recycle, buy and use biodegradable products, eat a healthy and balanced diet in order to reduce greenhouse gases, conserve water and electricity, and avoid using plastic bags. Check out animated shorts and see what you and your family can do to make a difference.
