Eco-Yeti

Being an eco-friendly business maybe a tough call for most owners; either they have already started their business and it's too difficult to switch or they are scared of the price of going green. Granted, Baby Yeti Productions is still a home production company but that doesn't mean I'm not looking out into the future.

 One thing that I would enjoy having within the work place once owning an office with employees is a garden that will supply the kitchens with the fresh ingredients that is needed. A great example of this in the workplace is at Google Headquarters. Having a large garden such as this requires people to harvest, train employees and also a chef to prepare the food. As Google has not released an exact price for what it cost, one can only imagine. However I do give them props for having such a great space and helping the environment. I would like to have a community garden with the employees at Baby Yeti so that it is everyone's garden rather than just mine. This video is of one of the main men leading the Growing Connection Gardens at Google.

 Another way that Baby Yeti wants to be eco-friendly is with the packaging in which we deliver to clients. We have recycled old DVD cases and also started using recycled paper as sleeves to house the films. When buying small quantities of the paper, it may seem to be more on the expensive side. However if we shop knowing we will need lots more in the future, the more the merrier and the price tends to be cheaper that way. Adobe was big on making sure it's packing for all their software was also going green.

 One thing I have personally noticed while being on movie sets myself is the amount of plastic bottles lying around everywhere. I would like to give every crewmember their own reusable water bottle with our logo on it so that they can bring it to work everyday. Something like this would be costly being about five dollars a pop. However, that would reduce the amount of trash and recycling that would be needed, the amount of water needed to be bought each production.
