'Evan Almighty' Director Tries Carbon-Neutral Set
The film Evan Almighty is Universal's first attempt at carbon-neutral production. Director Tom Shadyac says the carbon emissions were counted and then offset by planting trees.
But he also made changes on the set, including a lot of recycling, bikes for crew members, and double-sided scripts. Shadyac says the effort wasn't perfect, but Hollywood is learning to be "green" by doing.
