Title: BBC launch the alberts - Environment Certificates
Post by Dickie Mint on May 21^st, 2014, 2:40pm

From Digital Spy:

"The BBC and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) have announced a new green certificate for TV shows.
For the first time on British TV, viewers will see which programmes meet higher environmental standards with the 'albert+' certification badge on the credits."

..................

"In the Philip Glenister drama From There To Here, 73% of the crew were based locally in Manchester, props and costumes were found from local charities and returned, there was an 80% drop in paper use and 95% of skip waste was recycled."

Mmmm, been done before beeb, before you closed down regional production centres. Pebble Mill productions used 100% Birmingham staff, Props and Costumes were supplied by on site store.....

More from the BBC here.
