The Burning Season
Awrad winning filmmaker Cathy Henkel from Hatchling Productions wanted to make sure that her new film, The Burning Season was a properly carbon neutral production. Cathy contacted Carbon Planet to organise a greenhouse gas emissions audit of the film’s production and to seek advice on ways the crew could ensure they minimised the emission of greenhouse gasses. The film itself, as the above trailer shows, concerns the use of avoided deforestation credits a kind of carbon credit that places a monetary value on tropical forests. Cathy called upon Carbon Planet’s EthicalMatching™ service to arrange that any emissions generated by the making of the film would be offset with these avoided deforestation credits. Carbon Planet used its relationship with the Chicago Climate Exchange to source these specialised credits for Hatchling Productions.
