African Cats arrive on Earth Day

Earth Day, April 22nd of every year, is intended to remind everyone of the importance of caring about the environment, and celebrating everything it has given us.  In modern days, it's usually celebrated with a bunch of hippies getting together to listen to music, dance and party.  

Davis, California throws a weekend-long Whole Earth Day festival in May, which brings people together and commits to having zero-waste and alcohol-free entertainment.  The festival is great because it manages to entertain with just about no externalities to the Earth.  

Disney will participate in Earth Day this year too, by releasing its film entitled "African Cats."  African Cats is about...big cats in Africa: lions and cheetahs.  The movie airs in theaters beginning April 22nd, and Disney will contribute $0.20 of every ticket sold during the first week to save the Savannah in Kenya, where the movie was filmed.  Disney guarantees a donation of at least $100,000 to the program.  With great cinematography and lots of human interest, the movie shows lion and cheetah families trying to make it in the wild lands of Africa--and is guaranteed to be awesome.

See the big wild cats April 22-28th, play with the hippies in Davis May 6-8th, and the Earth will be a happier place.  I'm looking forward to it already!
