Green Broadway


The Broadway Green Alliance (formerly Broadway goes Green) is acting to help Mother Earth. According to this article, the theatre industry have taken the following steps:

  • Playbill Magazine is working with NRDC to enhance their environmental practices, which are already extensive, and will be supporting the initiative by periodically reporting on the "Broadway Goes Green" efforts and regularly printing theatre related eco-tips in Playbill Magazine throughout the year.


  • Wicked has reviewed and revised its behind-the-scenes production activity to adopt greener practices.


  • Out of 39 Broadway theatres, ten have already replaced their marquee lights with more efficient lighting and an additional 14 conversions are underway. To date, over 10,000 exterior and interior bulbs have already been changed.


  • Production shops are offering environmentally preferable materials and are developing plans to recycle or reuse scenery.


  • Costumes are being washed in cold water whenever feasible.


  • Re-chargeable batteries are used in sound equipment whenever possible.


  • Many touring shows are offsetting the carbon emissions from transporting their equipment through investments in renewal energy and have purchased nearly 1,900 tons of offsets through the Touring Green program.


    • It's not easy being green, but the first step is the most important step.

    1. The Earth has been facing immense pollution from our garbage and consumption. The latest deadly pollution is plastic bags that fill up the landfills. With plastic bags becoming a growing concern, cotton bag has become the new way to help stop the pollution.

      With plastic bag pollution being a rising concern, many shoppers need to start using reusable cotton bags in order to stop the pollution.

      Plastic bag pollution is very deadly and takes hundreds of years to break down. Even if the component is broken done, the deadly chemicals will go into the ground and water system. By reducing the usage of plastic bag, Earth can recuperate. That's why cotton bags should be used world wide to help reduce the pollution.

      It is our generation to stop the pollution and start using cotton bags as the solution. With global warming going out of hand from gas exhaustion, we don't need any more problems especially plastic bags that are harmful when broken down naturally. These broken down elements cause sickness and destruction to the air, soil and water system.

      Use cotton canvas bags starting today as a way to stop the plastic pollution that is becoming a major threat to the environment. Our lives are threatened ever more from the growing usage of plastic bags. It is time you bring a canvas bag to shopping the next time you go to a supermarket.
