TGR has recently offset 150 tons of CO² which was accumulated during the filming of their upcoming film RE:SESSION. They did so by providing the necessary funds to the national environmental organization Protect Our Winters (POW). According to the TGR crew, they are the first action sports film production to offset their total carbon footprint from a film production!

 

Steve Jones, co-founder of TGR, says about the recent steps, "We are excited to take the initiative to offset our carbon emissions from "Under the Influence" and we are going the same with our future films. We understand we are not perfect, and we continue to evaluate all of our company activities in order to address the fact that e want to protect the environment that we work and play in."

 

Alongside offsetting their carbon footprint, TGR also sell 100% organic clothing and re-usable merchandise. In a time where climate change awareness is raising, will the other film companies follow suit and try to limit the damage that their countless heli-drops, long-distance plane rides and snowmobile rides do to the enviroment? Let's hope so.
