Disney World unleashed its own five-megawatt solar facility that will provide energy needed for the park as well as surrounding hotels and facilities. The new addition is of course snapped by Mickey Mouse himself and is large enough to be seen from outer space. The purpose of the new facility is to reduce Disney's carbon footprint on the trail of the Epcot solar installation in the 80s.
This desire to use inexhaustible resources in order to help the environment by such a large corporation is commendable.
Contrary to the big businesses of the early 1900s, like Andrew Carnegie and Boss Tweed, who did anything they could to make a profit, Disney seems to be turning over a new lea for the better.
More major businesses should follow their footsteps and use their funds to better the enviornment or prevent future decay.
