They range from avoiding private jets and big trailers to bringing their own water bottles and coffee cups on set.

Hayley Atwell, David Harewood, Bill Nighy, Paapa Essiedu, Nabhaan Rizwan, Juliet Stevenson, Dame Harriet Walter and Adrian Dunbar are among about 100 others who have put their name to the plan. They include choosing trains over planes, sharing trailers and dressing rooms, reducing "additional food or comfort requests that require runners to go off site", and bringing their own bottles, cups and cutlery.
