The Bigger Screen cares about the impact of organising film festivals has on our carbon footprint. Therefore we encourage our film festival partners to thoroughly examine their event organisation. To reduce the use of printed material, reduce waste and to make event locations accessible on foot, by bike and/or public transport.

​

Next to these efforts we've teamed up with Treeplan.org to work out custom made compensation packages to further limit the impact to a 'climate neutral' level.

To compensate its impact and depending on the size of the festival a certain number of trees are being planted with one or more of the over 14 tree cultivation projects which are supported by Tree Plan.

​

Based on a study using MyClimate.org, a small film festival (3 days, 50 seats) produces approximately 0,707 ton of CO2.

This includes the duration of the event, the number of participants, the number of staff, the heated area, the air conditioned area, how the participants arrive at the event, whether the participants had overnight stays, catering, the power consumption and how much of this is green energy, printed material, use of plastics, use of recyclable material and the produced waste.

One tree absorbs up to 1 ton of CO2 during its life time.

As the positive effect of a tree take a life time we decided to multiply this with 100.

100 trees for a small film festival.

All partner festivals combined planted 10,000 trees for the year 2022.

ABOUT TREEPLAN.ORG

As ambition grows, so do forests.

Every organization leaves a footprint. At Treeplan, we believe that footprint can be a positive one.

​

Founded within the creative industries, Treeplan was created to help organizations transform their growth into lasting environmental impact. What began with film festivals, cultural events, and artistic initiatives has evolved into a broader mission: helping companies, institutions, and communities create living ecological legacies.

​

We believe that every ambitious project should leave something behind that continues to grow long after the event has ended, the product has launched, or the company has reached its next milestone. Through forest creation and ecosystem restoration, Treeplan helps organizations turn their success into something tangible, lasting, and alive.

​

Every organization deserves a forest.

A company has a logo. A website. An office. A team.

But what if it also had a forest?

A place in the world that exists because of its vision, its growth, and its contribution.

​

At Treeplan, we help organizations establish and support forests as a symbol of their commitment to future generations. Whether you are a startup, a film festival, a university, a cultural organization, or an international company, we provide a framework through which ambition can create lasting ecological value.

​

From projects to forests

Treeplan works with organizations of all sizes to support reforestation and ecosystem restoration initiatives around the world.

Each participating organization becomes part of a growing community committed to one simple principle:

As ambition grows, so do forests.

 

Join the movement

Build a forest. Leave a legacy. Grow something that will outlive us all.
