In celebration of Earth Day, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy is going green! In the new DVD, he teaches kids easy ways to do their part to help the environment. To help celebrate the new release Anchor Bay has partnered with the Alliance for Community Trees (ACT). For every “Wubbzy Goes Green” DVD sold between April 1st and May 31st, Anchor Bay will donate $1 to ACT to help support the planting of trees in playgrounds and schoolyards.
Here are some tips and cool “tree trivia” inspired by “Wubbzy Goes Green” and ACT:
- Take along washable cups or travel mugs instead of disposables.
- Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth.
- Volunteer with community organizations that plant trees like the Alliance for Community Trees!
