The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment confirmed:- • The health of the environment is directly linked to human well-being and invariably economic development • If current trends continue, ecosystem services that are freely available today will cease to be available or become more costly in the near future • The loss of ecosystem services will influence customer preferences, stockholder expectations, regulatory regimes, governmental policies, employee well-being, and the availability of finance and insurance All of which will have a direct impact on the sustainability of the film industry.

The Environment and the Film Industry From the moment an initial idea is noted onto a piece of paper right through to the film archiving process the environment provides natural resources (such as water, raw materials and energy for example) to produce goods and services for the film industry, amenities such as landscapes for locations and the means to absorb any waste from any activity associated with the filming, distribution and archiving process (see Table 1 below). Table 1: Environment and the Film Industry Pre-production Production • Fossil fuels for transport to meetings and • Timber for the construction of sets castings • Fossil fuels, water and minerals which • Wood fibre for paper (scripts, contracts make up products such as paint, nails and etc) wire for set design • Land to absorb discarded materials such • Scenery for locations as draft scripts or unsolicited manuscripts • Raw materials (including oil) used in the production of make-up • Fossil fuels to provide electricity for lighting • Fossil fuels, water, minerals and other raw materials for special effects • Land, water and air to absorb discarded materials such as sets, transport emissions, catering waste, heat and noise Post-production Distribution/Exhibition • Fossil fuels to provide electricity to run • Fossil fuels for transport computers and electronic equipment for • Fossil fuels, water, minerals and visual effects and editing chemicals for developing film • Food for the crew • Aggregates for cinema buildings • Land, water and air to absorb discarded • Fossil fuels to provide electricity for materials such as chemicals, transport festivals and cinemas emissions, emissions from electricity • Land, water and air to absorb discarded supply and heat materials such as packaging, fossil fuel emissions, chemicals and general consumable waste Merchandise Archive • Fossil fuels, water, minerals and other • Fossil fuels, water, minerals and raw materials to produce DVDs, for chemicals used for storage and example preservation of film • Fossil fuels, water, minerals and other • Fossil fuels, water, minerals and raw materials to produce to produce chemicals which make the computers* packaging for cataloguing • Land, water and air to absorb discarded materials such as packaging, emissions, chemicals and general consumable waste NB: This list is for demonstration only and is not meant to be an exhaustive list * For example the manufacture of an average desktop computer and monitor uses more than 10 times its weight in fossil fuels and chemicals; an average 24kg computer and 27cm monitor require at least 240kg of fossils fuels, 22kg of chemicals and 1,500kg of water. - 5 – Developing an Environmental Strategy for UK Film
