'The X-Files' Creator Chris Carter Earns Vancouver Film Festival Award for Environmental Efforts on Set

At a Vancouver International Film Festival luncheon on October 7, The X-Files creator Chris Carter accepted the festival's 2016 Industry Builder Award for his role in leading efforts behind the scenes to make production as environmentally sustainable as possible. Beginning with initiatives on the set of 20th Century Fox's The X-Files: I Want to Believe in 2007 and continuing through to this year's six-episode event series, the work led by Carter and his crew has resulted in major savings in both costs and carbon emissions and developed new strategies to recycle set materials. The initiatives were bolstered by 21st Century Fox's corporate sustainability program, which is dedicated to reducing environmental impacts across global operations.
