Welcome to our Green Page!
In here you will discover why and how our company chooses to appreciate our relationship with the environment and participate in sustainable practices. With this level of awareness, Hero Productions take full responsibility for all their resources.
My personal journey of environmental awareness began in 1989 by better understanding how we affect our environment. A book called ‘The Silent Spring’ by Rachel Carson, greatly influenced my earlier years of education. Not only did this literature influence me, it also left a sense of critical importance of how we share this world with everyone and we all are impacted by each-others ripple effect.
Here are some tips for Greening your Work / Home space:
Paper
-Use both sides
-Clean sheets can be re-used in your Printer
(On Production sets, scripts are a perfect means to re-use)
-Keep old envelopes and use the back sides for Notes
-Create manila folders, to separate Full Sheets of recycled paper to scrap pieces for notes
Recycle Bins / Cans
Hero Productions custom made their Recycling Bins.
-Recycle Goods for Cash reimbursement and non reimbursement.
-We also separate our Plastic #1 and #2’s (look at recycle # in the bottom of the container)
-Glass containers are separated according to Color.
Compost
We use the Los Angeles City waste management services
- We separate our garden leaves and soil into the GREEN container.
- All others into the BLACK containers.
