I remember reading an interview with the LD from U2's show once and when they asked him what they were doing on the tour to go green he said "For a tour of this scale, the only environmentally friendly thing to do would be to cancel it." I like that mentality. Fortunately, the industries products have been naturally going green for us. LED fixtures save energy by themselves as well as modern intelligent lights. Options are available everywhere that you can buy "green" fixtures. But like Willy Williamson said.. there comes a point where if youre going to put on the scale of production you want to put on... you just have to go for it, and not worry about "going green" because thats not exactly what your designing for
