Benefits of the Program
 Disney's Environmentality Challenge is an exciting program that is a fun and educational way that students can learn to think and act environmentally at school and at home. You and your students can have fun together uncovering environmental discoveries in your own community. Along with tying into educational Content Standards and/or Guidelines, the Pledge and Class Project will teach your students teamwork, problem solving, and how to develop a life long love for learning.
 The purpose of the Pledge is to provide students with an awareness of the need for a healthy environment and encourage students to take responsibility by selecting three local actions as their pledge to the environment. Students will apply content knowledge and use their communication and decision making skills to discuss ways to incorporate Environmentality into their daily lives.
The Class Project is an opportunity for students to identify an environmental issue/problem in their local area (school, community); investigate ways to address the issues; and develop and take action to improve the environment. Through the Class Project, students develop content knowledge and understandings that align with you regional Content Standards or Guidelines in English-Language Art, Mathematics, Science, History/Social Science, and Visual and Performing Arts. Students have an opportunity to build confidence and self esteem in developing and completing a long-term project, as well as developing their senses as a problem solver and decision maker.
