The document covers various aspects such as transportation, materials, food, energy, and reflection/communication with the purpose of supporting the cultural community in transitioning towards sustainability.
It emphasises the importance of incorporating sustainable thinking into creative work, such as attributing eco-friendly behaviours to characters in stories or scripts.
