Animation and the Environment

For those who don't know it's blog action day today, so what can animators do for the environment?

Here's my quick list:

For model animators, recycle materials and re-use old materials rather than binning them. Think about what paints are being used and how they will breakdown when disposed of.

CGI animators, think about how much energy you are using, turn off un-necesary computers when not in use.

All animators could make a film about the environment and raise awareness.
