The Oscars Go Green

URL: The Oscars | NRDC

We really enjoyed watching Academy Awards this year!
Ellen was an awesome host, the intermission choreography performances by Pilobolus were amazing (I would love to go see their show!), and I was very happy to see so much effort put into running the event as Eco-Friendly as possible and encouraging people to be Green!

You can read about how the Oscars ran Eco-Friendly with the collaboration of the NRDC here.

Here are the bullet points I copied from NRDC's website :)

Energy audit of Kodak Theatre; efficiency plan and recommendations.
Renewable energy credits were purchased from Bonneville Environmental Foundation to offset carbon emissions from pre-show, red-carpet event, Oscar telecast, and Governor's Ball.
Use of ecologically superior paper for telecast and non-telecast event materials such as nomination ballots, envelopes, press materials, programs, invitations, and certificates.
Hybrid vehicle transportation provided for presenters and staff.
Comprehensive recycling system instituted for event waste.
Crew meals and craft services included reusable service materials and accessories, post-consumer tissue products, and biodegradable dishware.
Governors' Ball menu featured organic and environmentally-friendly food, including seafood, dairy, produce, and even the large chocolate Oscar.
Left-over Governor's Ball food donated to Angel Harvest.
