Thanks, Maurice Vaughan Reusing and recycling sets is a great way to save both money and materials—plus, it’s a fun challenge to get creative with repurposing props.
@Dan spot on—leadership sets the tone. Maybe another tip should be “Lead by Example”—when directors and producers make sustainability a priority, the whole crew is more likely to follow suit.

You're welcome, Vincent Weberink. Yeah, I think it'd be a fun challenge to get creative with repurposing props, like turning Action movie props into Sci-Fi movie props.

Also, if you've got safe left-over props food or hero food from a food commercial, there are a number of places to donate that. Offering it to cast and crew to take home is also appreciated.
Terrific ideas, Pamela Jaye Smith!
