T oday’s news is tomorrow’s fish-and-chip paper – what seems novel now will soon be forgotten. It isn’t until something happens on a universal scale that news lingers. The Covid-19 pandemic is perhaps the best modern example of something still prevalent in people’s minds since it was first made public. But, with Boris Johnson’s most recent announcement that those with the virus will no longer need to isolate, I wonder if Covid-19 will become another greasy serving platter? It made me think about other problems brushed under the rug that are still very much present. Climate change is one of the biggest issues we face, but even though its effects are fast upon us, little is being done to enact change. Film and TV produces an enormous amount of CO2 – and, as a magazine that serves that industry, it’s vital to address measures that can reduce its carbon footprint. Welcome to the big climate issue.
