Movies are "Going Green"


  Plant a tree now!

On June 22nd, a sequel to the movie Bruce Almighty is coming out. It's called Evan Almighty. Well, Evan Almighty is a "green movie." What does that mean? It means they took steps to save the environment.

"Green" activites/efforts during production included :

*The film's production was carbon offset through a donation to the Conservation Fund.
*All the landscaping, lumber, windows and other reusable materials were donated to Habitat for Humanity.
*All crew members were given bicycles by director Tom Shadyac to reduce car usage.
*Recycled paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass were used on set.
*After production was completed, trees were planted near the site of the ark in Crozet,VA as a thank you to the community.
*HtoO water was used -(Hope to Others, a company founded by Tom Shadyac, donates 100% of the profits after taxes to charity).

The leaf above was taken from the movies website. It's one more thing they are doing to help the environment. It's simple: Donate $5...a tree gets planted...and your name gets placed on the DVD when it comes out.
