Tell Us What’s Happening Feature: BCIT integrates sustainability into production classes
Cindy Leaney, Faculty in the British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Broadcast & Media Communications Department, has been attending the Reel Green Higher Education Roundtable Meetings and integrating sustainable production into her classes and beyond.
In the last year, the broadcast programs at BCIT have implemented LED lighting grids in two of the studios, and the broadcast building has also been outfitted to provide water source facilities for re-useable containers in an attempt to cut down the purchase and use of bottled water.
Additionally, Leaney integrated the Reel Green materials into the first year curriculum within the Production Planning and Production Management courses she instructed. This led to many students signing up for carbon literacy courses, and expressing interest in the sustainable lockup. The students were also enthusiastic to learn what local and international productions are implementing in terms of sustainability.
Leaney looks forward to screening the Be Reel Green videos and familiarizing the new cohort of 46 students with Reel Green initiatives in September 2019.
Congratulations! Let's keep those sustainable stories coming! Tell us what's happening in your world here.
