Green Good News Stories

Jun 27, 2023

Reel Green™  is collecting information about positive green experiences and green accomplishments to better tell the story of the sustainability progress in the motion picture industry in British Columbia.

If you are a sustainability coordinator, crew member, film office or liaison, industry stakeholder, green vendor or hold a relationship to the film + TV industry, you are invited to share your experience and observations!

Productions regularly do both big and small things to help leave a lasting positive impression and steward goodwill for future filming opportunities, often with no fanfare or recognition.

    • Creative solutions on-set or in the office to lessen the impact one the environment
    • Sustainbility achievements or plans on-set or in the office
    • Monetary or in-kind donations made to sustainability organizations or green companies/charities, etc.
    • Above and beyond clean up at a location (i.e. graffiti removal at a park, fixing something at a residence that was broken before filming)
    • Partnerships with Green Vendors or sustainability companies on-set
    • Meaningful engagement with the public about sustainability

Data will be collected on an ongoing basis with the goal of regularly compiling and sharing big picture stories widely.  The format will be guided by the stories themselves and may include blog and social media posts, Reel Green™ Newsletter spotlights, etc.
