00:00:00.547 --> 00:00:04.380
<v ->"Abigail" is part of the Universal's GreenerLight program.</v>

2
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:06.180
It's an initiative that takes place

3
00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:08.160
from script to screen in front of the camera

4
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.040
and behind the camera to try and reduce

5
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:13.320
the environmental impact of this production.

6
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.875
<v ->We really are making an effort to be more sustainable.</v>

7
00:00:17.875 --> 00:00:18.708
(bright upbeat music)

8
00:00:18.708 --> 00:00:20.130
<v ->When given the opportunity</v>

9
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.720
to participate in something like that,

10
00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:23.047
everybody just says, "Great."

11
00:00:23.047 --> 00:00:24.007
<v ->"Yes, of course."</v>

12
00:00:24.007 --> 00:00:24.900
<v ->"Yeah, why wouldn't we?"</v>

13
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:26.849
We just, were on board from the start.

14
00:00:26.849 --> 00:00:27.750
(upbeat music continues)

15
00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:30.570
<v ->We are using HVO in all of our generators.</v>

16
00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:32.970
HVO is treated vegetable oil,

17
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:34.620
you can put it in any diesel engine,

18
00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:38.520
and it has up to 90% less carbon emissions

19
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:39.720
associated with it.

20
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:42.960
We're also using hybrid generators to power our unit base,

21
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.902
so it means you have clean, silent power.

22
00:00:45.902 --> 00:00:46.770
(upbeat music continues)

23
00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:50.490
We have a really robust recycling and composting program.

24
00:00:50.490 --> 00:00:53.040
<v ->We've got plans in place for making sure</v>

25
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:56.040
that as much as that we can reuse is going to be reused.

26
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:58.470
And then anything left over kind of tends to go

27
00:00:58.470 --> 00:00:59.970
to the charity shops.

28
00:00:59.970 --> 00:01:03.210
<v ->Excess food is donated to people who need it,</v>

29
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:06.600
to sort of have a tangible way of benefiting

30
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.000
underprivileged communities locally.

31
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:09.833
I think that's great.

32
00:01:09.833 --> 00:01:11.340
<v ->Good</v>
<v ->That's great.</v>

33
00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.260
<v ->We're delighted to be working with Screen Ireland</v>

34
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:16.320
to create a case study about this production.

35
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:17.700
This case study will be available

36
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.170
so that it can be replicated

37
00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:20.356
on other productions in Ireland.

38
00:01:20.356 --> 00:01:21.420
(upbeat music continues)

39
00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:24.900
We have an opportunity, not only to entertain people,

40
00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:28.080
but to model change.

41
00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:30.600
<v ->We participated in the Lights, Camera, Plastic campaign</v>

42
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:32.700
by avoiding single-use plastics on screen.

43
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:34.560
<v ->To help normalize sustainable behaviors</v>

44
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:35.403
with our audiences.

45
00:01:35.403 --> 00:01:36.510
(upbeat music continues)

46
00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:38.850
<v ->The more people do it, the more sets do it,</v>

47
00:01:38.850 --> 00:01:41.550
the more everyone will do and it'll become more common.

48
00:01:41.550 --> 00:01:43.860
<v ->Movies reach so many people around the world,</v>

49
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:46.510
so it's crucial for us to take a lead on sustainability.

50
00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:48.030
(upbeat music continues)

51
00:01:48.030 --> 00:01:49.140
<v ->We get to help our planet,</v>

52
00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:51.120
and we get to help the people who inhabit the planet,

53
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.467
so kudos to Universal for doing that.

54
00:01:53.467 --> 00:01:56.967
