Rainforest Relief Teams with EMA on Safe Sets™ Campaign
 
The ad was produced by our Safe Sets™ Campaign partner, Environmental Media Association (EMA). EMA has been working with numerous Hollywood studios to reduce the use of lauan plwyood in set construction for some time. The ad presented a sign-on letter being circulated circulated by Hart Bochner, actor, director, EMA boardmember and EMA's Lauan Reduction Committee Chair, which has already been signed by over two dozen directors, including:

Dugan produced Big Daddy without the use of lauan plywood. Rainforest Relief will be continuing to work with EMA on our Safe Sets™ campaign. Next steps include a conference in California to bring together users of lauan for sets and manufacturers of alternatives and potential alternatives, to share ideas and hopefully arrive at some agreements for using these alternatives. Rainforest Relief will focus on various Broadway producers and theatrical set builders to bring them to this important gathering. We are also planning on a Broadway production that will highlight a set made entirely of environmentally preferable alternatives. We hope to make this set mobile so that it can travel across the country to theatre arts schools and theatres. The set will be used in productions that will highlight the issue of rainforest destruction for plywood as well as educate about alternatives. The set will be designed so that each component will include information on the materials, what it's made from, and where it can be purchased. We hope to produce the first show on Broadway in the spring of 2006. If you're involved in theatre or movie production and would like to be a part of this critical campaign, contact Rainforest Relief today. |
