How Celebs Help Spread the Eco-Message (& what celeb hates plastic, JUST like us.)

Who’s the best spokesperson for the environment? (Besides GPB...)

Celeb power dominates influencing audiences both young and old. Founded in 1989, the nonprofit Environmental Media Association connects today’s hottest celebs power to environmental awareness, spreading the green message through TV, film & music. They network with producers, writers  directors and many more to incorporate environmental messages in your everyday entertainment.

The 22nd annual EMA awards took place Saturday, September 29th in Burbank to honor Kelly Meyer, Jessica Alba, Elon Musk & Ian Somerhalder. Winners included Dr. Suess’ The Lorax (Feature Film), Chasing Ice (Documentary), & HBO comedy VEEP (Television Episodic Comedy.)

A bunch of celebs were quizzed on what Green Superpower they could have, and Jessica Alba targeted plastic (to disintegrate) immediately. We knew we liked her! What else did the other celebs say? Check out the video:

Be cool like Jessica Alba & sign our Plastic Bag Reduction petition.
