"I want movie theaters to be sustainable because movies have always been a source of hope, understanding and entertainment. I think sustainability is really important and that the movie industry could do so much good by reaching out to such a large demographic and use its platform to do good in more than one way. I want to be able to leave a theater without feeling guilty for being wasteful when I don't have to. I want the entire experience to be good" -Casey Bilodeau
