Jane Fonda, Quinta Brunson and Daniels, aka Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, were among the stars who took part in the 2023 Hollywood Climate Summit on Thursday, leading conversations about environmentalism in their projects and the culture at large.
Held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, the two-day conference kicked off with keynote conversation “We’re All In: Why You Should Be Excited About the Hollywood Climate Movement,” with Brunson, Kwan and Scheinert. Everything Everywhere All at Once producer Jonathan Wang started things off with an opening statement, noting that on their Oscar-winning film, the team “did some good, we made some baby steps. We hired an eco-coordinator, we made sure that our food went to farms or to homeless shelters, we made sure that we could do the best we could. But these were all very, very small, teeny, tiny steps. As we finished the movie and we...

The big question — “How can Hollywood help fight climate change?” — gets answered on a daily basis by Earth Angel. The sustainability consulting agency is one of the busiest set-greening companies helping the entertainment industry do its part.
“As storytellers we need to tell stories that inspire. And if we are going to do that, we better practice what we preach,” says Darren Aronofsky, who enlisted Earth Angel’s help on the set of his award-winning film, The Whale.
Founded by Emellie O’Brien in 2013, Earth Angel has spent a decade advising TV and film productions (as well as commercial and live productions) on how to reduce their carbon footprints.
“When productions sign Earth Angel on to a project, they’ll have up to seven specialists that will be working on the project throughout the process,...

Today, Mananalu and Earth Angel, a sustainable production service provider, announced a partnership that advances the mission of both organizations to protect our planet. Mananalu will provide its aluminum-packaged water to Earth Angel’s film and television production sets, effective immediately.
Jason Momoa, actor and Mananalu Founder.
“Seeing the entertainment industry take meaningful steps toward sustainability is a passion of mine and one of the reasons I founded Mananalu,” says actor and Mananalu Founder Jason Momoa. “There is a lot of work to be done, but this partnership with Earth Angel is a big step in the right direction.”
While communal water stations were once a staple of Earth Angel’s on-set programs, the Covid-19 pandemic brought about a desire for more single-use options to mitigate the spread of the disease. Plastic water bottles were not an option, as they are counter to Earth Angel’s work to reduce the...

Sarah Tosone is a specialist in environmental management across film and TV production, events and festivals. Here, she talks to those working in the same space in Canada, the UK and the US to see what lessons can be shared with Australia, particularly during Covid-19.
The effects of Covid-19 are still being felt in Australia and around the world with unknown long-term consequences. In our attempts to be safe from this virus, I have noticed an increase of waste has occurred. There’s been a return of single use items, particularly plastic water bottles and boxed lunches. Most of this ends up in landfill, as does PPE (personal protective equipment).
Climate change and environmental sustainability appears to have taken a back seat. It quickly became mandatory for film productions to have a Covid-19 plan, implemented by a Covid-19 department. What a shame the same can’t be said for a mandatory environmental plan,...
