He believes young people have the power to make change as do we. 👊💚
Earth Angel wants to shout out our friends at Common Ground Compost! Common Ground works with the NYC community to facilitate the recycling of organics in any capacity— supporting the health & sustaining the growth of urban communities. Their latest newsletter offers all sorts of great resources on urban composting, while pointing out that composting is a proactive way to help combat environmental racism: "Composting is one of countless ways to directly combat environmental injustice. Hundreds of thousands of tons of NYC garbage ends up in Black and Brown neighborhoods in other states and a third of all NYC garbage ends up in the south Bronx." - Jesi Taylor Cruz 👊💚 link below to the rest of their newsletter written by Jesi Taylor Cruz.

Earth Angel Co-Founder, Emellie O'Brien, was interviewed by BAFTA in London last October. This clip was shown at the Media Greenhouse #GreenTheScreen event last month. The UK and Europe are leading the way when it comes to sustainable production practices and we are so thrilled to be a part of that movement. Thanks for making Earth Angel a part of your sustainable industry event from all the way across the pond! "I'm a filmmaker before I'm an environmentalist...but I have to stop and recognize that as much as our content is progressing, our practice is not...We have the capability of changing things, we're just choosing not to." #BeDisruptive
Earth Angel’s mission is to integrate a standardized method of environmental accountability throughout the entertainment industry. Our sustainability consulting services provide the skilled labor, equipment, metrics and resources that effectively reduce the carbon footprint of entertainment productions, while increasing efficiency and leaving a positive impact on local communities. We believe that entertainment should never be made at the expense of the environment, but instead harnessed for its cultural influence to effect positive social and environmental change in our society.
In only five years, Earth Angel has serviced more than 30 projects and demonstrated the substantial impact of having a designated Eco Department tasked with managing production sustainability. The measurable impact of our services provides valuable data that leads to better resource management and thus cost savings. To date we have diverted more than 3,350 tons of waste from landfills, avoided the use of more than 1.7 Million single-use water bottles, facilitated the donation of more than 75,000 meals to food banks, avoide more than 6,800 metric tons of carbon equivalent emissions, and helped save our productions more than $1.1 Million.
Join the #greenset movement!
