The Green is Universal initiative is focused on bringing an environmental perspective to everything they do, informing and entertaining their audiences while driving more sustainable practices into their own operations. As one of the world\u2019s largest media and entertainment companies, they want to participate in and help lead one of the most important dialogues of our time\u2014and build a stronger business and a more sustainable world in the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/jurassic-world.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-1069 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/jurassic-world-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"jurassic-world\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/jurassic-world-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/jurassic-world.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/jurassic-world-630x350.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>In March 2014, NBCUniversal implemented a \u201cZero Waste&quot; recycling program on the Universal Studios lot, helping to significantly reduce the amount of material sent to landfill from corporate and production offices, facility operations and production stages. Developed with the participation of NBCUniversal employees, the program provides compost, recycling and landfill receptacles, making it easy to separate food and food-related materials out of the waste stream and keep recyclables clean and dry. In 2014 this program resulted in about 1150 tons of materials recycled and 750 tons composted, an increase of 66% over the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Universal Studios \u201cJules Stein\u201d Building 50,000 square foot third floor renovation prioritized sustainable building practices that exemplified NBCUniversal\u2019s commitment to environmental protection. A new HVAC system was installed, along with LED lighting with occupancy sensors for energy conservation. Furniture in the building was sourced within 50 miles of the studio and low flow sinks and toilets were installed to save water. The project used locally harvested materials and recycled building materials in construction, and nearly all waste from the project was recycled. These practices earned the renovation a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usgbc.org\/leed\">LEED-CI certification<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nLeading the industry, Universal Pictures and the NBCU Television Production Group, partnered with entertainment payroll companies to develop new, entirely digital onboarding systems. These business units produce roughly 85 shows annually, onboarding approximately 50,000 freelance hires per year.The new paperless system will be available throughout the industry, reduce fuel emissions from transportation needs and reduce paper consumption by more than 1,000,000 sheets per year at NBCUniversal alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/Eddie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-1075 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/Eddie-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Eddie\" width=\"263\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/Eddie-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/Eddie-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/06\/Eddie-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><\/a>Universal films which have been produced in a sustainable way include<em> The Theory of Everything<\/em> with Academy Award winning actor Eddie Redmayne as the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The crew on <em>The Theory of Everything<\/em> worked actively behind the scenes to reduce their overall impact on the environment.

Items like canned and unopened non-perishable food were donated when filming wrapped, to local charities and food banks; and a robust recycling and compost program was always at the ready for cast and crew.
