In the world of action movies and TV shows, the car crash is about as American as apple pie. But in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, some car crashes you will see on the screen will be friendlier to the environment than in the past.
The hit Fox TV show 24 is attempting to become the first “carbon neutral” show on television and according to the New York Times, executives are looking at ways to decrease the carbon dioxide emissions from the multiple car explosions on the program.
Since the show quickly discovered that it would be impossible to remove car crashes with explosions from the show, they decided to buy carbon offsets in the form of wind energy from India, according to the news provider.
Producers told the Times that they bought enough wind energy to offset 1,291 tons of carbon emission, which will account for a little more than half of the show’s car chases and explosions.
Hollywood is increasingly adopting green car initiatives in efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. Last year a car rental agency started in Hollywood which allows stars like Penelope Cruz to show up to award shows in a fuel-efficient hybrid SUV.
