CBS ECOHEROES: GO BEHIND THE SCENES TO SEE HOW CBS IS HELPING TO CREATE AN ECO-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.

SURVIVOR™, ON LOCATION

SURVIVOR brings its contestants and crew to pristine locations around the globe, and co-executive producer Leisa Francis discusses what the show does to keep them that way. Tune in to SURVIVOR Wednesdays at 8/7c.

THE TALK SET, LOS ANGELES, CA

Co-host Sara Gilbert leads the charge for the show's greening efforts. The set backgrounds are made from recycled paper, and reclaimed wood is used for everything from furniture to decorations. Tune in to The Talk weekdays at 2pm ET, 1pm PT/CT.

THE GOOD WIFE SET, BROOKLYN, NY

The show prides itself on looking drastically different than a typical set. With long days spent filming, the effort of replacing disposable water bottles with reusable ones quickly pays off. Tune in to The Good Wife, Sundays 9/8c only on CBS.

CBS STUDIO CENTER, LOS ANGELES, CA

The studio is committed to reducing its carbon footprint across day to day operations. The sound stages use chilled water plants, a more efficient cooling system that keeps things cool even under the hot lights. The studio recycles everything from metal to wood to batteries to e-waste.

CBS TELEVISION CITY, LOS ANGELES, CA

The studio’s different stages are covered by more than 1,700 solar panels, generating much of the electricity it needs to run the lighting and cooling that help keep the business running. The company has also chosen more efficient options for roofing, lighting and cooling to cut down on its energy usage.

TIP OF THE WEEK
