"24:" Carbon Neutral Plans (They Will Shock...)
Big news on the carbon neutral front: "24" has gone, ummm, carbon neutral.
Got the release from Fox this morning. It proclaims how '24" has just become TV's first carbon neutral show..the bullet points:
*electricity from renewable power sources, like wind, has reduced show's footprint...
* Show reduced show’s overall carbon footprint by nearly 940 metric tons of carbon dioxide.
* Integrated fuel-efficient and low-emission hybrid vehicles into the production fleet, saving 1,300 gallons gas.
* Scripts distributed by email...
Well, guess what, "24" fans!!
I accidentally received one on of those "emailed" memos from "24!" It lays out even MORE radical plans for carbon reduction next season...Read on!
MEMO: To "24" staffers
RE: Carbon Reduction
Gang, We're not stopping with 940 metric tons. We're going ALL THE WAY. We will not expend ANY carbon next season. A brief overview of our strategy for the 8th season:
* No cars. That's right. All chase scenes to be conducted on bicycle.
* No guns. Huge contributor to carbon footprint; henceforth, Jack will throw stuff at the bad guys.
* No computers. All those screens? Gone. All FBI communications will be conducted via paper; carbon-neutral pencils will be used.
* "24" changes name to "12:" Yes, our day will no longer be "24 hours" but "12 hours." The hours of crisis will also be conducted ONLY during daylight hours, thereby eliminating the need to use lights.

I love Kief for going green! I really wish more shows would follow suit; imagine what an energy-suck Hollywood must be...
I've seen vide + more details on the project here: http://squareeyes.blinkx.com/?p=409
Quite interesting stuff.
Good Day. The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.
