title:  The Full Story

Toolkit for green theatre choices from Mo'olelo

Kellie Gutman's full report on how to green your theatre is here on the Directory.

Mo`olelo, the San Diego performing arts company, have completed their Green Theatre Choices Toolkit, information to help the theatre industry make choices that will cause less long-term environmental damage.

The toolkit lists the pros and cons of materials in these categories:

    wood products
    glass,ceramics, earthen materials
    textiles
    textile treatments and colourants
    metals
    plastics and foams
    paint and adhesives
    lighting and electronis
    'audience interface materials' (marketing, mailers, playbills, food and beverage containers)

The pdf is downloadable here.

The toolkit was sponsored by a MetLife/TCG 'A-ha! Think It, Do It' grant. The reserach was partnered with Brown & Wilmanns Environmental Consulting and adopted their 'Green Choices' methodology.
