The REEL GREEN BC Forum at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue on October 24, 2007 was a huge success. The forum drew 145 participants from various sectors of the motion picture production industry as well as environmental and sustainability partners from throughout our communities.

The session provided a great opportunity for BC's motion picture industry to share green initiatives and discuss the actions that can be taken to reduce the entertainment industry’s environmental impact in British Columbia. The following action items were identified to move REEL GREEN BC forward.

1. Directory of environmentally sustainable sector companies and services.
2. Motion Picture Reuse Cooperative and Materials Exchange Website.
   
3. Parking hubs and temporary grid power drop strategy.
   
4. Assessment of environmental standards and measures for entertainment production companies.
   
5. Compliance and Certification.
   
6. Wikki or Blog Site for sharing of best practices.
