Film Set for a Cause: Leonardo DiCAprio Encourages Warner Brothers to Switch to Solar Generators

Written by Marketing Intern Nandini Kavuri

A typical day on a movie set means that an immeasurable amount of energy is used. A-List actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, has decided to make a change and look to alternative sources of energy. During the filming of one of this summer’s biggest blockbusters, Inception, the actor encouraged the head of Warner Brothers to switch to solar generators. 

The switch to solar generators from the standard ones only cost about one percent more, but the switch kept 40 carcinogens from being released into the environment and over a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air. Warner Brothers will now be using these solar generators on other upcoming movies.
