#Chimpanzee Prize Pack Giveaway #MeetOscar

I am over the top excited for today.  Not only will we be attending the red carpet premiere of #Chimpanzee, Disneynature’s newest film, we will also have the chance to interview Dr. Jane Goodall, the McCain sisters, the directors of the film and more…it promises to be an amazing day!!  When we arrived here at Global Resort Homes yesterday, we were met in each of our bedrooms with our very own Oscar plush, Chimpanzee book and reusable shopping tote.  Having seen the movie, I can tell you I do not know of anyone who won’t fall instantly in love with little baby Oscar- he’s so sweet and innocent.  The chimps absolutely draw you in and I’m in awe of how emotionally connected I felt to the chimps throughout the entire film!! (Wait for my review next week!)

In celebration of the film coming next week, one reader will win a Chimpanzee prize pack including the Oscar plush, the book and the reusable tote. 

To enter: Simply leave me a comment and tell me how YOU work on conservation in your life.  That’s it.  One entry.  You can come back each day and leave an additional comment if you would like extra comments.  

This giveaway will end on THURSDAY April 19th and I need to send the winner info by 8PM EST on Friday, April 20th (the day the movie is released!!).  Giveaway is open to US and Canada.

No compensation was received for this post. I was invited on this press trip and all expenses were paid for.

About Brett

I'm a 40 something lifestyle blogger living in Connecticut with my husband and our 3 kids, plus our two rescue pups. We love to hike, travel, play games, watch movies, and just be outside together! Having 3 active kids makes for a hectic schedule and I try to share content, recipes and other things that can help to make today's busy family life simpler, easier, or just plain more fun!

I started working full time at a local middle school in fall 2021 and some of my students are insistent that I am mean.

    I recycle with my students, and teach them that paper doesn’t grow on trees (???) I make sure that they understand that we must all do our parts and not waste our resources.

  18. Ronalee Duncan says

    I only shower once a week. (just kidding)

    When I am at my home in Omaha I go up and down the streets, gather the newspapers that people leave in their yards (sometimes for weeks) and recycle them.

  38. Jill A. Collins says

    Conservation is just an everyday part of our lives. For example, we’ve been doing some major landscaping on our 3 acres, but we prefer instead of buying plants, shrubs and stone, mulch, etc from the nursery, we have harvested EVERYTHING from the land that is already there. We’ve made natural stone walkways, built a 1500 gallon pond out of the natural stone, rescued our fish from the bait shop, transplanted native trees and flowers and simply brought out all the natural beauty which was already there. We used the cedar trees we harvested to make all our beds, dinind room table, support beams in the house and dressers. Living with nature to us is the most natural thing we can think of to do in our lives. Oh, yeah, and we even adopted a blind deer that mama deer abandoned in our yard last Spring!

  46. Erin Rok says

    When I was little I used to go out and actually pick up trash, I wanted to save the planet. I still do, but it’s to do with 2 kids, a job, and every day chores. But, I do my part by always throwing my garbage in the trash and not on the ground, and turning off lights and extra electricity when I can. I also recycle.

    If I need hot water from the tap. I run my water in a large pot till it gets warm. I then use the water in the pot for the dogs dish and for watering my garden.

  53. Carrie Phelps says

    I began recycling long before it became the “in” thing to do, approx. sixteens years ago. I also will throw leftover fruits & veggies outdoors to either return to the Earth or feed the wildlife living in my area.
