Disney's Friends for Change, (also referred to as Friends for Change: Project Green) is a pro-social "green" initiative that started in the summer of 2009. Disney's stars stress environmental issues in the campaign, encouraging fans to take action. The year-long campaign draws on how Disney stars connect with young fans. Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez are among the stars in the 30 second to 2 minute public service announcements currently airing on Disney Channel. As part of the initiative, kids will have the ability to choose how Disney will invest one million dollars in various environmental programs.^[1] This was presented instead of the 2009 Disney Channel Games.
