ABOUT:

Join us for a session with Devon Hardy, Associate Director at Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts (CSPA) who will go over how theatres can make their organizations more environmentally friendly and sustainable. 

The session will go over what the Creative Green Tools and how to get the most out of them, and then engage in a conversation centered around sustainability in the arts.

The CG Tools were designed specifically to be simple and accessible, and to motivate change in the arts and culture sector. Since the Tools were created, they’ve been continuously improved and updated based on feedback from the sector. They have been a key aspect of Arts Council England’s incredibly successful program to engage the arts and culture sector in environmental sustainability and reduce carbon emissions in the industry, and they are now used by over 5,000 organizations in 50 countries worldwide.

Theatre can access a free set of carbon calculation and reporting tools that allow organizations in the arts and culture sector to record, measure and understand the impacts of their venues, offices, tours, productions, festivals and more!

The CG Tools make it easy to measure your energy use, water consumption, waste generation and recycling, travel and production materials. The results can then inform your environmental strategy and organizational priorities.

The CG Tools can be used across arts and culture sub-sectors, including theatre, dance, museums, galleries, music, libraries, archives and more!

If you are interested in learning about your organization's environmental impact, how carbon measurement can be the cornerstone of a positive environmental strategy and how this fits into a community-centric approach to sustainability, we welcome you to join us!
