SPIRIT AWARDS GO GREEN
The 2008 IFC Independent Spirit Awards will be a "zero-waste event" in a bid to make the event the greenest ever.
All materials at the prizegiving, which will be held in Santa Monica, California on 23 February (08), will be recycled, including the Astroturf stars will walk on at the event.
Organisers are also planning a "ride-sharing programme," whereby celebrities and nominees will be asked to team up to get to the Independent Spirit Awards.
Voters are also being asked to register before 15 December (07), so that nominated films can be streamed direct to them online - in a bid to save paper and packaging, and cut down on postal costs.
