GREEN SET FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
ASHTON KUTCHER was proud to star in VALENTINE’S DAY - because movie bosse= s insisted on an environmentally-friendly set.
The actor heads up an all-star cast, including Anne Hathaway and Bradle= y Cooper, and was delighted when they were all handed personal stainless = steel water bottles to use during their time filming the movie.
And the cast and crew’s green credentials didn’t end there - bosses als= o commissioned reusable sets, as well as biodegradable plates and utensil= s.
Kutcher says, "We had a green set, so there was a lot of dedication and= hard work that went on in this movie to using solar panels and clean ene= rgy and recycling.
"Due to the fact that the movie was shot in Los Angeles actually made t= hat an easier thing to make happen. In some ways it worked out, and in so= me ways it didn’t, but I think every opportunity we have in our industry = to make what we’re doing a more environmentally conscious effort is a goo= d thing. So supporting a movie that was made that way, I think, can contr= ibute to that." Director Garry Marshall adds, "There are a lot of things wrong with our= environment, so to go green seemed to me to be a very good thing. It’s n= ot that big an effort. If we could do it, others can do it."
