The Green Film Festival in Seoul has announced an output of the carbon emissions every year to become an environment-friendly film festival by minimizing carbon footprints in the process of festival management. In 2008, we decreased about 12 percent of carbon emissions compared with the previous year and 60 percent in 2009. The Green Film Festival in Seoul succeeded in decreasing carbon emissions dramatically every year. We expanded the range of offsetting carbon in the process of preparing the 7th Green Film Festival in Seoul.

We expect 26.17 ton carbon emissions. Our range of calculating carbon emissions includes not only using flights, but also using trains and cars. And in the case of promotion materials, we considered the paper use, so expanded the range by including not only the use of official promotion materials such as posters, catalogs, and invitation tickets, but also the use of the envelopes and official documents for mailing promotion materials. We are planning to use the airlines that run carbon offsetting programs and cooperate with DHL to use their GoGreen service for film carriages. These will help in offsetting not only carbon dioxides but also carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.

We will continue to make every effort to decrease the carbon emissions during the festival and the preparation period. We expect to offset the carbon that was generated in the process of festival management by climatic change prevention funds run by climatic change center.
