Earth Day 2020: Tech Makes It Easier for Productions to Do Their Part

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. What began as a grassroots movement in the 70s has become a global call to environmentalism. While Earth Day may look a little different this year than in years past, environmentally conscious businesses are recognizing that there is an opportunity to rebuild after the Coronavirus pandemic in a sustainable way.

The entertainment industry is notoriously wasteful, but with GreenSlate, there is a better way. We believe that every production can take steps to contribute to a more sustainable future and offer solutions to help productions reduce their footprint.

From the moment a production starts work through delivery, our fully digital workflows and remote capabilities:

• Minimize a production’s impact on the environment by eliminating materials needed to process, file, and store hard copy records as well as eliminating unnecessary trips to the production office and set. On average, a very large television production ($50M < $100M) using 100% of our digital solutions can save 32,000 sheets of paper and over 10,000 gallons of water. And with our live tracking eco tracker tool, productions can see exactly how much good they’re doing for the environment.
• Reduce labor time with fully customizable digital approvals and workflows, superior drill down options, cost reporting designed to let you analyze, summarize, and allocate faster, and more.
• Improve accuracy and efficiency, and eliminate incomplete form submissions, readability issues, and the possibility of lost notes and paperwork. Crew can securely enter and auto fill information across multiple forms.

We invite you to join us in our efforts to encourage digital adoption and bring much needed cultural change to the industry this Earth Day.
