Single-use plastics on screen further normalizes the throw-away society that we find ourselves in today. "Social scientists agree that there are profoundly important relationships between motion pictures and human behavior." - Franklin Fearing PhD Psychology and author of "Influence of the Movies on Attitudes and Behavior." 🎬 That's why nonprofit group Habits of Waste has started the 'Lights, Camera, Plastic?' campaign, in its mission to significantly reduce the amount of single-use plastic shown in TV and film and to replace throw-away plastics with reusables. We hope to see more reusables on the screen in the future! 🙌 Read more about their campaign 👉 https://habitsofwaste.org/campaigns/lights-camera-plastic/

We are thrilled by the response to this new campaign. As social change makers, we believe in the power of the individual to make small adjustments within their daily lives to protect the planet and combat climate change. Our goal is to activate large numbers of people with accessible behavior changes that collectively have a greater impact than a few people doing it “perfectly.” We hope that campaigns like "Lights, Camera, Plastic?" empower consumers and help them to use their voice. Together, we can clean up the planet one 'habit of waste' at a time.

It would be equally cool if TV and film productions used electric cars for their shows...

That is a great idea too. In general, the more eco-consciousness we show on camera, the more people will come to expect those behaviors in real life.

Great campaign, representations in media matter. TV and films have a real influence on people's habits, otherwise, brands wouldn't be investing so much money for their products to appear on screens!

Spot on! The power of media is not lost on big business, it's time we use it for environmentalism as well.

Great idea! Imagine the affect of actors throwing cigarette butts on the floor has had! No wonder it is the most littered item... This is something that an organisation in the UK called Albert should adopt. They're responsible for the sustainability within the film and TV industry. https://wearealbert.org/
