THE INITIATIVE
At first glance, the Media industry does not conjure up an image of a heavy CO2 emitter. The poster boys for climate change contribution are usually heavy fossil fuel guzzlers and waste producers.
Even so, if we consider the A to Z process of an average tv/film production, be it a feature film, a TV episode or a Studio Broadcast programme, the C02 emission figures we arrive at are staggering.
Greener Screen invites the TV/film community to consider how our daily actions affect our environment and join us to enact positive change together. Not only will this shift make a difference for the environment but will also lead to a significant cost cuts for its adopters.
OUR GOAL
We believe that the media and audiovisual industry offers a strong platform, and we want to use it to change climate change by spreading awareness and simplifying sustainable production best practices.
​
Our goal is to be part of the solution to climate change by creating a net Zero emissions industry and to create a positive conversation and awareness through content.

WHY ITS IMPORTANT
​
There is a worldwide scientific consensus that the planet is undergoing unprecedented change and this change is a direct consequence of human activity. Depleting forests and endangered wildlife, water scarcity, and drastic climatic shifts are the catalysts and results of increased CO2 emissions.
In the past 50 years, we have consumed more resources than in all of history. We have churned out 142% more CO2 into the atmosphere in the last 100 years alone.
Just in recent 30 years, the CO2 concentration has increased by 34%. The trapping of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere results in rising temperatures and while an increase of 2 degrees may seem unsubstantial, such an increase in such a short span of time has far-reaching effects on life on earth.
We are warned that humanity is on the precipice of disaster unless carbon emissions are cut down drastically and quickly.
IT STARTS WITH AWARENESS
