The Oscars


Influenced by Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth, the Oscars decided to be environmentally friendly this year. One of the first things they did was do an energy audit for the Kodak theater, and make the recommended energy saving changes. Most of the stars arrived in hybrid cars, instead of limousines. Where ever recycled paper could be used, it was. Even the envelopes and results used to announce the winners were recycled. They went so far as to serve only organic food at the Governor’s Ball. All of this was done as an example for the millions of viewers who tuned in.
