What I Found Behind Disney World's Hidden Systems

I got an exclusive backstage look at Disney World expecting a polished sustainability tour. Then I watched old beer bottles get ground into sand, stood in an overgrown solar field built for native bees, and traced food scraps through a closed-loop recycling system that once helped power the parks.

Disney World handles sustainability like a small city, with 50 million visitors a year and decades of infrastructure behind it. So, is Disney’s sustainability actually a model other companies can learn from? Or is the whole thing just too Disney-sized to copy?
