Hollywood’s greenest celebrities supported the Environmental Media Association and honorees Shailene Woodley, Jaden Smith, and Moby at the 26th Annual EMA Awards held at the Warner Bros. Studios Lot in Burbank last month (October 23).

Celebrities often use their fame to bring attention to issues that matter to them, and on October 23 the Environmental Media Association Awards brought the spotlight back to the stars—specifically those who champion solutions to environmental issues. 

Last Saturday night my good friend Laura Turner Seydel, a woman who I greatly admire for her work in the environment, invited me to attend the Environmental Media Awards. This is an annual event that Greenopia has sponsored in the past and honors members of the entertainment industry who are working to make environmentalism the new norm. But instead of saying no, I listened to my intuition that kept telling me I needed to be there and headed down to LA.

The 26th Annual Environmental Media Awards were hosted this past Saturday, October 22 from Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California.

Environmentalists in different forms of media were brought together to help raise awareness for the causes they support.

The Environmental Media Association (EMA) held its 26th annual awards on the Warner Bros. back lot on Saturday. GMOs and electric vehicles were among the talking points, but the big topic of the night was EMA honoree Shailene Woodley’s warrior spirit and her Oct. 10 arrest in North Dakota for “peacefully protesting,” she said, against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Family-photo season is upon us, and the Smith family is here to demonstrate how to share in the memories without embarrassing yourself in the process—if you can help it. On Sunday the whole clan descended upon the red carpet at the Environmental Media Awards and possibly stole the title of Best-Dressed Family in America in the process.

For all the glitz and glamour that celebrities swim in on a daily basis, many stars offer an equally healthy helping of "giving back." And among them are some of our favorite environmentally conscious actors and personalities, who stepped out at this weekend's 2016 Environmental Media Awards, hosted by Nicole Richie.

I was invited to one of their first events and became so enamored with the people involved and their method to how they were getting the environmental message across, I tried to be at all events they were associated with.
