Here is a quick, cheap and transparent way of becoming Carbon Aware! We
at Location Works believe that offering the chance for Production Companies
to be Carbon Aware pleases both Client and Crew and, most importantly,
contributes to a greener film Industry.
Carbon Aware Productions
(CAP) gives your company the chance to reduce
your carbon footprint which they calculate from the amount of power
used and the amount of emissions from travelling to the location. In return
they have a partnership with the Woodland Trust who plant 0.25 acres of
woodland per tonne of carbon. We and CAP believe that carbon produced in
this country should be offset in this country.
The method is simple. You send your Call sheet to Carbon Aware; they
calculate the Carbon Footprint and liase with the Woodland Trust. In return
they send your Production Company a certificate, detail the cost, the amount
of trees planted and where the trees are planted. You can, in turn, use this on
your call sheet.
There is a small charge for the calculation. The average daily shoots range
from 1 ton of carbon to 5 tons of carbon. To offset 1 ton of carbon the cost is
£25.00.
CAP is recognised by
Film London.
