ICG 669 Green Committee Mission Statement:
The ICG 669 Green Committee hopes to raise awareness of the stressors our industry places on the environment and help implement sustainable production practices within our Union. Transforming creative visions from script to screen consumes resources, generates waste, and produces carbon emissions. As leaders in art and entertainment, ICG 669 members have a responsibility to lead the way in clean-energy solutions.
By organizing sustainability panels at industry events; posting information for cleanup events across Western Canada; suggesting content for ICG 669 publications; and building coalitions with sustainability-focused organizations, our mission is to empower our kin to reduce, reuse, and recycle as we move toward living and working more sustainably.
We encourage all members to share and talk about what kind of green choices everyone is making, however big or small.

- Create a Green logo
