The Walt Disney Company and National Geographic announced the new global cross-platform campaign ourHOME at the start of Earth Month on April 1. The campaign spotlights efforts internally and externally that help protect, restore and celebrate ourHOME by highlighting creators, storytellers and Cast Members for their contributions.
For over a century, Disney has created stories that celebrate the wonders of the world we all share. And for more than 135 years, National Geographic has been synonymous with inspiring a deeper connection to our world. This year, these two powerful legacies are coming together to celebrate this beautiful planet we call home and the power within each of us to create change for the better.
