The new Terminator: Salvation movie has been getting a lot of attention and although critics aren’t overly enthusiastic about the flick, audiences will be storming the theaters this weekend to catch Christian Bale in the post-apocalyptic flick about machine mischief.

The good news about this movie is that the film’s director, McG, went all-out to make the movie as eco-friendly as possible.

“We were wildly green, left almost no carbon footprint,” said McG to MNN. “Our production team was very insistent upon recycling and repurposing sets, recycling all the paper. We tried to leave as minimal a footprint as possible. I think we made a lot of strides in that respect. In fact, we were recognized by the New Mexico governor’s office for doing a good job.”
