Nicholas Pickard said...: Great blog.... I just found it through Ben Ellis' site.

I have always been amazed, particularly in Sydney's independent scene the amount of waste that we generate through thrown away sets, costumes etc etc.

It might be a nice idea to start looking at the storage and re use of our materials.

Cheers

Bill Young had similar thoughts; see his comments and my response at the end of the main article.

I'm sure there's a business opportunity waiting here.

Global Warming: The Biggest Show In Town

THE INFORMATION COLUMN Welcome. This Blog is for actors and anyone else involved in the performing arts. It is about our industry and work in the context of Global Warming. It was created to encourage discussion on the issues and to allow suggestions on how our industry can contribute positively to finding solutions. To criticise and expose bad practices. (If you are new to 'blogging' see below.) We are a powerful industry when it comes to an interest in what actors,(read 'Stars') have to say. The many artists, be they actors, musicians, dancers, directors, technicians who make up our industry have a long history of involvement with social causes. We are a caring profession. Global Warming and resultant climate change, effects us all. All industries will have to take account of what they do from a climate perspective. This blog is for us to have our say and to nut out problems, to make suggestions and hopefully, help.

New to blogging? So am I. I'm still learning. But essentially, you can make a contribution if you have something to say about anything you read here. At the end of each posting (to the left) you will see 'comments'. If you run you pointer over it and click it, it will open up a screen where you can read other peoples' comments or add your own. If there are comments there already you will have to scroll down till you see the place to write. You can also choose to be anonymous. You will be asked to enter the squiggly letters code as a security measure to stop automatic spam generators. If you don't have an account sign in as other or anonymous. Go ahead, contribute.

Some Useful Sites

Here are some links that you may not know of but have been put here in response to the dialogue. The list will be added to as required. Please feel free to make suggestions, but I reserve the right to include them or not. (Just the little fascist that lurks inside) http://www.greenpagesaustralia.com.au http://www.greenfleet.com.au/ http://www.nativeenergy.com/index.html The last is an American site with a video and voice over. http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/default.asp I think this has been organized by Al Gore's producer. A fairly big and comprehensive site. Bellow is a (growing) list of environment sites. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/hottopics/climatechange/
