The Global “Green” Awareness and Guide for an Environmentally Healthy
Method of Working on Film Productions. WE CARE!
As the world is coming together for global “Green” awareness, filmmaking is no exception for
taking participation in this global act. Here are several key areas in film production and examples of
how to make each green:
Energy. For remote electrical power to sets and trailers local power plants for fixed structures, the
usage of diesel generators is vitally important.
Use alternative fuels such as solar, natural gas and biodiesel; use the correct sized generators; and
make the best use of local green utility programs.
Materials. The raw materials necessary for creating set designs, props, costume, hair and makeup.
Always use recycled materials when readily available, avoid anything toxic or vinyl, source
products locally and always prefer renting to purchasing if allowed.
Waste. The process of the management and removal of waste, from big piece furniture to left-over
food to water bottles and aluminum cans.
Always recycle, donate and deconstruct before anything is decided to become waste. Also, make
sure purchased equipments can be easily disassembled to save space.
Transportation. Traveling to and from sets and various locations for scouting purposes, meetings
and other related production needs.
Replace traveling with webcam/video devices or conference calls. Use eco-friendly/hybrid vehicles
and services, and hiring locally will directly save on travel and accommodation needs.
Operations. Managing location and production offices during production.
Reduce paper consumption, use energy-efficient electronic devices and available forms of
electronic communication, and take advantage of natural sunlight whenever obtainable.
Food. On and off set catering and craft services.
In addition to trash cans, must provide plenty of recycling bins; switch to reusable utensils, plates
and travel mugs; compost unfinished foods and drinks; and choose to use local and organic
products.
