Environmental impact? They don't have time to worry about environmental impact. They're creating art! You on the other hand should worry about your environmental impact every hour of every day. Locals complain Amazon's Lord of the Rings set is 'damaging' Crown Estate forest - Mirror Online
The Rings of [Prime] blockbuster – starring Morfydd Clark as Orc-slaying Galadriel – is being filmed in the 2,500 acre Swinley Forest in Berkshire.
With a rumoured budget of £800million, the fantasy series is the costliest ever.
But locals fear production is harming the wildlife. Drone pictures show a huge castle built on a muddy clearing.

The bureaucrats are spinning. They say this area is a commercial pine forest maintained by the Crown and was forested a few years back. It will be replanted after the show is done. If as much heavy equipment has been through that site as it appears, that may not be as simple as it sounds.
The sustainability team attached to the show has a somewhat different take, at least in their internal communications.
A memo from the Rings of Power sustainability team leaked to The Guardian said: “The environmental impact of this industry, and of this show, is enormous.”
I'm sure that the people responsible at Amazon, who is saying nothing, and the production, will be back to telling all of us how we have to reduce our environmental impact as soon as their private jets land.
For some reason this reminded me of a classic moment from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
