The Environmental Impact of Filmmaking
Filmmaking significantly contributes to carbon emissions, with productions generating between 390 to 3,300 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. This pollution primarily stems from power generation for equipment, transportation of cast and crew, and set construction, where even big-budget films like 'Oppenheimer' and 'Barbie' sit at the higher end of the emissions spectrum. Over half of a film’s carbon emissions are attributed to transportation, with private jet usage by high-profile actors exacerbating the problem. By transitioning to more environmentally friendly options, filmmakers can considerably decrease their carbon footprint.
