The Film and Television industry is a massively influential force in the lives of millions of people. So why is it so behind the times when it comes to sustainability? The amount of waste generated and energy consumed over the course of a film production can be staggering - but it doesn’t have to be.

Sustainable filmmaking is the inevitable future of the entertainment industry, and all industries for that matter. Some pioneering companies and individuals are already out on the front lines, bringing green practices to sets in New York City and beyond, but adoption of sustainable practices is slow.

Please consider taking a moment to sign the Green Set Petition to encourage the development and support of green production practices across all media platforms. With your support, this trend can help become an industry-wide standard.

The entertainment industry leads the way in design, innovation, and imagination. Sustainability must be next. Please join us.


PLEASE NOTE: This petition does not endorse any union, government or corporate entity. This is simply a way of gathering support for anyone - cast, crew, or non-industry affiliation - to express their concern for the environmental impact of entertainment production.

Many green and sustainable options often times frees up monies to be allocated elsewhere in budget. Many items purchased for a production still have value and purpose long after production wraps, it's important it insure these items and materials are redistributed so they can continue to serve their purpose. After a materials production purpose is served, we shouldn't just waste the intentions of that objects life and throw it away because it was needed for an afternoon.

having made my living in the film business I've seen first hand the abject waste. Anything we can do to stem this waste stream we have a moral obligation to do.

We all know how wasteful this industry is, and we all know how, with just a bit of effort, it can be a model for sustainable adaption. Whilst we, as a business, concentrate on greening in front of the camera, we also encourage greening behind it, and in all aspects, as a business. If all other business are beginning to realize that triple bottom line is the future of business of they want to succeed in the future economy, it's time the entertainment media business, as whole, jump on board.
