Reading this article’s headline, you may be thinking, "Global warming is a big corporate guy issue and I’m just a small production company in Anytown, America." However, production tools that save on materials and energy output are available as never before. Effectively, one can invest in energy efficient technologies upfront to reap long-term savings. Wonderdog Media, my production company in the Seattle/Tacoma Market, has implemented a plan to help reduce our carbon footprint for the benefits both to our environment and to our bottom line.

All good ideas Scott. We are on the same page, but you left out the big one: Solar panels! For my new studio (10 workstations and a renderfarm) we are building with solar and microhydro power. With rising power bills this makes more and more economic sense as well as being the most green alternative.
