The Green Disneyland Resort

The Disneyland Resort has been investing a large amount of time and money to make a small effort to save energy and better help our planet. The Disneyland Resort announced That they are making many efforts to use bio fuels and Compressed gas (CNG) as much as possible to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in our air. Listed below are projects that are being planed or have been already done to be come more green.

The Guest and Cast Shuttles are totally ran on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Did you know that the boats that take you to Pirates Lair (AKA tom sawyers island) are also totally ran on Natural Compresses gas as well as the autopia cars, The Jungle Cruise Boats, The Sailing Ship Columbia, And all the cars that drive up and down Main Street USA.

Back in 2007 the five Disneyland Express Locomotives that ran the circuit of track that goes around Disneyland have been remodeled to be able to run on a soy based bio-fuel. With the Use of soy base Bio-Fuels The Disneyland resort has reduced the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by 80% (eighty percent)

the Disneyland resort is also working on other bio fuels that will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions to our air but also the large amount of used cooking fat that is being sent to out land fills or oil wast compounds. the Disneyland resort has planed for the first attraction The Mark Twain Riverboat to be fully converted to use the Bio fuel made from used cooking fat from the kitchens around the resort this will reduce the amount of emissions and the amount of waste the resort put out each year. The conversion to the new fuel is planned sometime in 2009.

Other ways the Disneyland resort is Striving to become More Green is the more use of Electric vehicles. Believe it or not the vary fist green attraction or vehicle to ever be introduced to the Disneyland Resort was the monorail.Bback in 1955 this was the first electric only vehicle and clean running vehicle to be introduced to the Disneyland resort. Other Attraction that are being ran on electricity are the Finding Nemo Submarines, tho there are the same subs as the 2,000 League Under The Sea subs the diesel engine where removed ans new electric track and engines where installed. Even behind the scenes there are over 350 zero emissions electric vehicles that solely run on electricity.

with all this new technology to reduce the Disneyland Resort carbon dioxide emissions to our planed I guess that guest can now breath a bit easier
