Choose The EcoTrailer™ for your film production.
As someone who works in the film and TV industry, you likely know about the waste and pollution generated by idling vehicles, diesel generators and special effects’ explosives on set. On November 14, 2006 a UCLA study reported that the film and television industry in L.A. produces environmentally damaging carbon dioxide by the ton, which is contributing to global warming. The study showed that...
… the film industry is responsible for more toxic emissions than aerospace manufacturing and the apparel and hotel industries.
In fact, the film industry is second only to petroleum manufacturing! Toronto, having now earned a reputation as “Hollywood North,” cannot be far behind.

A 150 kW generator, generally referred to as ‘house power’ in the film industry, burns 10 gallons of diesel fuel an hour.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 1 gallon of diesel fuel emits 22.2 pounds of green house causing carbon dioxide in to our atmosphere.
In an average film making day of 14 hours, that adds up to 3,108 pounds of carbon dioxide a day.
That amounts to 21,756 pounds per week…
A staggering 1,134,420 pounds or 576 tons of carbon dioxide a year!
To offset this you would need to plant 1 tree per 100 gallons of fuel – that’s 51,000 trees a year!
