The Green Emmys
I think it has been made abundantly clear that I love TV and movies. And I love it even more when TV (like NBC) and movies (like Evan Almighty) go green. But lately I have been viewing all the green hype with a little bit of skepticism. Sometimes I feel like the “green” label is slapped on and there is no real environmental effort behind it. For instance, what exactly made the Emmys green? Well, like any good blogger, I did my research. This year’s Emmys were chock full of recycled paper, hybrid cars and bio-diesel fuel. Yay!
My favorite efforts of the green Emmys can be seen here, in a FOX in-depth look into the eco-friendly Emmy Awards. It’s a short video, but very cool inside look into the eco backstage of the awards. A couple of 
things the small screen did to help reduce the footprint of the golden statues.
- Solar panels were used to power the whole red carpet.
- The red carpet will be recycled.
- The stage’s blue rug was made from recycled plastic bottles.
- The wood room where the stars went to relax (”the green room” haha) was made from old high school bleachers.
- The coveted swag bags were made of canvas.
Of course, there were more green efforts, but these five are so cool. I love that the green room was made from high school bleachers. That is just too cool. And just because we all need a little more of The Office in our lives…
I really hope that environmentally friendly practices become a way of everyday life! Let’s keep it coming!
