Meryl Streep is lending her voice to the climate change crisis – literally. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-winning icon narrates “Want to Tell a Great Story,” a new PSA that debuted today from the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance made in partnership with the NRDC’s Rewrite the Future. Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, formerly known as the Sustainable Production Alliance, is an initiative of film, TV and streaming companies committed to a green industry through onscreen and offscreen actions. Members include A24, Amazon Studios, Amblin Partners, Disney, Fox Corporation, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Village Roadshow, Warner Bros. Discovery. The alliance is now focused on an expansion by developing resources and opportunities for industry engagement around sustainability onscreen after having created frameworks for sustainable production through its Green Production Guide. “We’re excited to explore how we can meet audience demand for stories that engage with our changing climate and more the industry toward a more sustainable future, both on and off screen,” says Sam Read, Sustainable Entertainment Alliance’s executive director. Adds NRDC’s Rewrite the Future director, Daniel Hinerfeld: “Storytellers are leading the way by creating award-winning film and television content that’s reflecting environmental issues and resonating with audiences. Every story doesn’t need to be about climate change but simply acknowledging that we live in a climate-altered world can make any story more relevant and compelling.”
