EMMY-WINNING DRAMA “24” MAKES LANDMARK COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE

Show Will Take Significant Steps to Reduce its Carbon Footprint
For Season Seven with the Goal of Accruing Enough Emissions Savings
To Render Entire Season Finale Carbon Neutral;
“24” Hopes to Inspire Other Series and Millions of Viewers
To Join Fight to Curb Climate Change

July 22, 2007, Hollywood, CA – “24,” the Emmy Award-winning series from Imagine and Twentieth Century Fox Television, will strive to become the first television production ever to save enough energy and reduce enough carbon emissions over the course of a season to render its entire season finale “carbon neutral,” it was announced today. In addition to making significant changes to its own production practices, the series aims to educate and inspire its millions of viewers to take climate change and the fight against global warming seriously and personally, before it’s too late, said executive producer/show-runner Howard Gordon and Twentieth Century Fox Television Chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman.

“We care deeply about this issue at ‘24,’ and we wanted to do our own small part to be part of the solution,” commented Howard Gordon. “We looked at how we produce the show, and realized that there were some substantive changes we could implement which would make a real difference. But even more importantly, we hope to inspire our audience to look at what they can do in their own lives to help stem global warming. We think this will be the beginning of a conversation with our millions of viewers that will hopefully inspire them to take action around the world.”

“Fighting the dangers of climate change is an initiative that this whole company takes very seriously, and what better show than ‘24’ to lead the way?” commented TCFTV Presidents Newman and Walden. “This series has a proud tradition of innovation and futuristic thinking and we couldn’t be more excited that Howard and his team have embraced this bold challenge. Not only can we encourage other television series to follow their example, but we intend to use our powerful platform as content providers to communicate directly with the people of the world about how we can reverse this serious environmental threat.”

Beginning with production on Season 7, “24” intends to implement the following carbon emission reduction techniques and important initiatives:

1. I would like to see them deal with the issue WITHIN the plots of the series.
Then heads would REALLY explode.

4. Interesante...
I remember the Rush show where he had the creators of "24" on his show. They're all good
buddies and Rush talked about how he had them over for a small dinner party--with close friends
that included some "24" people and Clarence Thomas and his wife. Rush is a total name dropper.

I'm mystified by this. These people break bread with Limbaugh, but they acknowledge global warning?

Weird-o-ramma.

6. I'd imagine . . .
. . . that we'll see in the not to far off future people repukes trying to own global warming reduction by saying it was their idea from the start.

Nothing they do surprises me anymore.

7. I have a son who loves that show. He could give a rat's ass about the politics.
I am not a fan because I dislike violent shows.
