Paramount Classics and Participant Prods. have teamed with NativeEnergy on an eco-savvy way to tout the film: They're offsetting 100% of the carbon dioxide emissions generated by pic-related globetrotting activities such as air travel, car services and hotels.
NativeEnergy calculates a "carbon footprint" based on the promo activities, with Par Classics and Participant splitting the costs associated with the footprint. NativeEnergy will use the proceeds to help build new Native American, Alaskan Native Village and farmer-owned renewable energy projects.
Thus, the doc becomes the first carbon-neutral pic in Tinseltown, Par Classics boasts.
Gore also has helped out by flying commercial on all promo activities, says a Par Classics rep.
No word yet on whether any of this summer's other big pics, like "X-Men: The Last Stand" will implement the same environmentally friendly plans. Playing a character named Storm, Halle Berry would be a natural.
