New Carbon Footprint Calculator for Filmmaking

Fil, production is just one example of an enterprise that has a greenhouse gas emission impact that might not be well understood. A new calculator is designed to help filmakers assess and lower their carbon footprint.

Netribution reports:

"Film London - perhaps the UK's most pioneering screen agency - has released in Cannes its Green Screen plan, with a Carbon Calulator Excel file for calculating a film's carbon footprint. With Hollywood film productions producing more carbon than all LA air traffic, and London's screen industries producing 125,000 tonnes alone (the equivalent of 24,000 houses), the tool and its accompanying research (also available in Hindi, Arabic and Chinese) is long awaited."
