Launched in 2008, The Broadway Green Alliance (BGA) is an industry-wide initiative that educates, motivates, and inspires the entire theatre community and its patrons to implement environmentally friendlier practices on Broadway and beyond.
We have to drastically change the way we treat our Mother Earth. There is no “exponential growth” in nature. We need to find ways to work with her, not against her.
I believe that fighting climate change is a social responsibility in which every single person can participate; this is why I love being a Green Captain — I can help my Broadway community by setting up systems to enable all of us to do our part for the planet while doing what we love on stage!
The longer we wait to solve the climate crisis, the harder it becomes to solve it. So in addition to pushing businesses and the government to adopt greener policies, I also try to challenge myself to carry my weight and change my personal behavior to protect earth, the only home we have in this vast, inhospitable universe.
I want to be able to one day tell my two little boys that I was part of the climate revolution that restored and regenerated their planet!
Every bit of good we can do counts! I’m a Green Captain because I believe that making even a few simple, sustainable choices can have a gigantic impact on the world!
Whatever I can do to promote a green and sustainable work environment that’s easy for us, I’ll do! Being green is a lifestyle. It’s a journey!
I volunteer as a Green Captain because it allows me to blend my passion for the arts and my love of the planet to promote sustainable practices in the theatre industry. As someone who gets to freely enjoy Mother Nature, I find a responsibility in sharing these sustainable practices to those around me to help insure the longevity of the planet.
I'm always striving for ways to improve my green practices and carbon footprint at home. It's only natural for me to carry those habits to work. I'm willing to help make green practice an everyday thing, to share what I know, and continue to learn!
The Broadway Green Alliance wishes to respectfully acknowledge that our offices are situated on the island of Manahatta in Lenapehoking, land stolen from its original caretakers, the Munsee Lenape people. We acknowledge, respect, and uplift their ancestral stewardship of these lands past, present, and future.
“Acknowledgement is the beginning. Acknowledgement—and the research required to do it with integrity—should be an invitation to deeper analysis, relationship, and action.” — US Department of Arts and Culture, #HonorNativeLand
