Love the theatre? On the board of your local theatre? Know someone that works in theatre? Ever been to a theatre?
Two terrific organizations - The Broadway Green Alliance and the NRDC have teamed up to help theatre's be as green as possible. This dynamic duo of organizations (BGA & NRDC) really know what they're talking about.
So you may ask. Why should our theatre go green?
Good Question. Here are three good answers.
1. It's good for business. Efficiency leads to cost savings. Saving money is always good for the bottom line.
2. It's good for the environment. Less impact on the planet = better health for everyone.
3. Brand Enhancement. Everyone knows "green" is good. Get that extra little bit of love from your patrons. They'll know they're supporting "the arts" and doing the "right thing" for the planet. It's win win.
