Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! "Wubbzy Goes Green" - DVD Giveaway

I'm back with another new DVD from the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! series.  "Wubbzy Goes Green" teaches kids how important it is to be "green" and how easy it is to do so.  Kids will learn how to do their part to make the Earth a better place along with their Wuzzleburg friends.


As an added "bonus", for every "Wubbzy Goes Green" DVD sold, Anchor Bay will donate $1 to ACT (Alliance for Community Trees) to help support the planting of trees in playgrounds and schoolyards across the country!  Check out the newsletter below for more info:

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!  Young viewers and fans will give Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! a green thumbs-up when the cute and quirky bendy-tailed character from the hit Emmy Award^®-winning Nick Jr.^® preschool TV series goes from yellow to…green in “Wubbzy Goes Green,” an exciting, brand-new DVD featuring a bounty of adorable and Earth-friendly episodes!

To help celebrate the new release – and Mother Earth! – Anchor Bay has partnered with the Alliance for Community Trees (ACT).  For every “Wubbzy Goes Green” DVD sold, Anchor Bay will donate $1 to ACT to help support the planting of trees in playgrounds and schoolyards across the country! The special tree-planting initiative “sprouts” on April 1 and continues through May 31, 2010.

And to further ”plant the seeds” of green-themed consciousness among the budding environmentalists in your family, following are some tips and cool “tree trivia” inspired by “Wubbzy Goes Green” and ACT:

v      Take along washable cups or travel mugs instead of disposables.

v      Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth.

v      Volunteer with community organizations that plant trees like the Alliance for Community Trees!

Trees make for thriving children!

Did you know…

v      …asthma rates among 4- and 5-year-old children fell by 25% for every extra 343 trees per square kilometer?*

v      …students perform better in tests when surrounded by trees and grass?**

v      …neighborhoods with more trees experience less crime?**

More facts about trees!

Cleaner air: Trees help trap and remove tiny particles of soot and dust, which otherwise damage human lungs, and tree root networks filter contaminants in soils producing clean water.  Four million trees would save $20 million in annual air pollution cleanup!***

Energy saver: The cooling effects of trees can save millions of energy dollars!  Three to four shade trees located strategically around a house can cut summer cooling costs by 30-50%!***

Healthier children: Performing activities in green settings can reduce children’s Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms.**
