The Environmental Media Association awarded Fox Filmed Entertainment 12 EMA Green Seals at its 20th Annual Environmental Media Awards on October 16. The EMA Green Seal is given to films and television shows that promote sustainable production methods and highlights those in the entertainment industry that have made strides in incorporating such practices.
Fox also took home the top prizes for projects that deliver a specific environmental message, winning Best Feature Film for Avatar and Best Television Episodic Drama for Bones. Twentieth Century Fox’s animated feature Fantastic Mr. Fox also was nominated in the Best Feature Film category.
The Fox films that earned recognition for their commitment to environmentally responsible filmmaking are Love & Other Drugs, Water for Elephants, 127 Hours, Black Swan, The Big Year, Knight and Day, Marmaduke, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Descendants, Just Wright, Cedar Rapids, and Win Win.
On set, the studio enforced the use of energy-efficient lighting, curbed unnecessary waste and water consumption, banned disposable plastic water bottles, and dismantled sets for reuse or donation. Generators were equipped with biodiesel fuel or eliminated entirely by working with local energy providers to plug into the grid. Wherever possible, crews limited the use of private transportation by using public transportation or fuel-efficient vehicles.
Catering and craft services went green with local, organic food, sustainably sourced meat and seafood, vegetarian options, and the donation or composting of untouched meals.
The production offices created an energy and paper efficient system by relying on digital distribution of materials and using environmentally friendly supplies. Additionally, Fox implemented a pilot program to eliminate the toxic, non-recycled colored paper used in script revisions and crew lists.
