We are all guilty of not recycling on set....production, crew, agency and clients. To lay blame on the P.M. seems a little too convenient. Most studios have blue bins, yet somehow there always seems to be more cans/bottles in the garbage bins than in the rec. boxes. To reiterate J.B.'s point, many people are just too damn lazy to use them, or they simply don't care. Perhaps we should ask the craft companies to start bringing 2 litre bottles of pop in lieu of cans.... bring your own glass, we'll provide the ice. Starcraft once made an attempt at a similar process. Each person on set started the day with one bottle of water. There was a refill station at the craft truck. This led to more complaints than I care to mention. The crew said they didn't have time to 'refill' due to the run and gun nature of the business, or they 'forgot' and threw their bottle away. The agency and clients seemed a little put off as well. Maybe we should try this again, and if anyone complains, I'll give them the addy for your website.
If Absolute does have blue bins, I'll be more than happy to rent them. However, I can't afford to post a 'guard' beside the bin to make sure people use it!
There is a grip whom I have great respect for. She sets up a recycling station on her shoots, and takes the refuse with her at the end of the day. Perhaps we should ALL follow her lead.
As a P.M. I am more than happy to address this situation. If a crew member were to mention this to me, I would in no way consider it whining. Hell, I agree with them. I am, however, tired of hearing complaints regarding parking, lunch, rates, the 4 min. walk to the lunch room etc etc. Those who consistently complain about these issues are the ones who should fear being labelled. Why is the P.M to blame if lunch is bad? Complain to the caterer, not me!
Well, thats my rant for the day. Go easy!
