LOS ANGELES, CA - October 30, 2007 - The motion picture and television industries have a significant greenhouse gas footprint purely by the nature of their business. Greenhouse gases are produced in many parts of the production process - from electricity needed to run the lights and cameras, to travel and lodging for cast and crew. The Environmental Media Association (EMA) is working to help these industries reduce their impact on the environment by identifying Climate Clean, the only company that addresses six of the dangerous greenhouse gases, as its "Offset Provider of Choice".

"We wanted a provider who could verify that their offsets really made a difference. After evaluating a lot of organizations, we chose Climate Clean because it was the only organization that offers real, permanent offsets that address not only carbon dioxide (C02), but also five other greenhouse gases," said Debbie Levin, President of EMA. "Climate Clean understands that the first step in reducing emissions is to improve efficiency and make smart decisions about everything from light bulbs to caterers. Then it empowered us to offset what is left with verified emission reduction projects. Climate Clean takes a portfolio approach that delivers real greenhouse gas emission reductions that are beyond 'business as usual'."

The partnership between EMA and Climate Clean aligns with the current green mindset in Hollywood. Many studios in cooperation with EMA have been incorporating environmental messages into mainstream films and marketing to raise awareness and advocate for energy-efficient practices. With California leading the charge for strict state regulations for emissions, Hollywood needs to be among the first to address its large environmental footprint.

Climate Clean already has experience helping the film industry. It offset the San Francisco premier of Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental film "11th Hour" earlier this year through its exclusive Verified Emission Reduction Facility (VERF) Agreement with EcoSecurities, one of the world's leading companies for originating, developing, and trading carbon credits and guiding greenhouse gas emission reduction projects.

"We are delighted to partner with an organization that has made great strides in spreading environmental awareness and action," said Alan Silberberg, Director of Corporate Sales for Climate Clean. "Climate Clean uses a comprehensive methodology to ensure our offsets are real, surplus, verifiable, permanent, and enforceable. That means our customers know that they are making a measurable difference. By working with EMA to reach major studios, we will be able to make a real change for companies' commitment to being entertaining, and being green."
