"24" is going green
"24" is going green, becoming the first "carbon neutral" television series. The IHT reports.
On Monday the network will announce that "24" is going green, becoming the first "carbon neutral" television series.
Among other things, Fox says, it has hired consultants to measure the carbon-dioxide output from the production, started using 20 percent biodiesel fuel in trucks and generators, installed motion monitors in bathrooms and kitchens to make the lights more efficient and paid the higher fees that help California utilities buy wind and solar power.
... Executives said that they were the first to make a series carbon neutral and that they hoped "24" would be a model for other shows and inspire a higher level of environmental consciousness in viewers. On Monday the network will begin broadcasting announcements in which the stars of "24" — including Kiefer Sutherland, who plays Agent Jack Bauer — encourage viewers to take steps themselves.
