On Sunday October 25th, Hollywood went Green for the 20th Annual Environmental Media Awards.
Amy Smart is naturally gorgeous at the Environmental Media Awards.
On hand for the honorous occasion were Amy Smart, Sir Richard Branson, Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin McHale from the Fox hit show Glee, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Mraz, Michael Rady from Melrose Place and many other hot names in the entertainment business.
Michael Rady of Melrose Place gives the Jaclynsphere great tips for going green.
Eight films and television programs were awarded for their outstanding contributions to protect our environment. Winners included Walt Disney Studios Earth, the film The Cove, the show Brothers and Sisters and also the children’s animated Wild About Safety-Timon and Pumbaa: Safety Smart Goes Green.
The Environmental Media Association was founded by Lyn and Norman Lear and Cindy and Alan Horn back in 1989. Their main goal is to “honor film and television productions and individuals that increase public awareness of environmental issues and inspire personal action on these issues.”
With the green movement continuing to receive Hollywood support, we’re sure the EMA founders are proud.

According to the official Farm Aid website www.farmaid.org “Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001. Farm Aid has raised nearly $35 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture.”
Farm Aid's Board of Directors include John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews and Neil Young.
There are some great, new acts joining the line up tonight. As the Huffington Post points out, “This year’s concert will feature sets from Jason Mraz and Gretchen Wilson.”
This “good food” movement, as it is often called, will be hosted by the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in St. Louis, MO. Official sponsors include Horizon Organic, Direct TV and Sauce Magazine just to name a few.

We all know you know this song and secretly love it, although you probably don’t know all the words no matter how many times you’ve listened to the catchy tune. And because of our obsession with Jason Mraz’s ‘I’m Yours‘, it has shattered a pretty serious record this week. At 70 weeks, it is now the longest-running song on the Hot 100 Billboard chart in 51 years.
According to Reuters, it is also the only track to reach No. 1 on each of the following top four radio based charts: Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs, Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40, and Triple A. It has also some how found it’s way on to the top of Latin Pop and Smooth Jazz, and debuts this week at Rhythm.
Who are the artists Mraz trampled over to get to the top?
LeAnn Rimes- “How Do I Live”; Carrie Underwood- “Before He Cheats”- 64 weeks; Jewel- “Foolish Games/You Were Meant For Me”- 65 weeks; Life House-”You & Me”-62 weeks; Los del Rio- “Marcarena”- 60 weeks.

I love Jason Mraz but I never knew he was so environmental savvy.
In Jason’s blog yesterday he shared a naked picture of himself as well as some tips on how to save toilet paper. Jason writes that two-ply t.p. is more harmful to our environment than we realize. “Americans’ addiction to two-ply, super soft toilet paper is causing greater harm to our environment than our gas guzzling cars. No s—…. In order to produce all that perfectly plush paper, companies must harvest tons of virgin trees, which the reaping of means less oxygen for the atmosphere to offset or all the carbon that seems to be frying us here on the surface.”
Now that he has made us feel bad, he gives us some tips on how to save on your toilet paper usage:
- Start small. Challenge yourself to use only 8 squares in your session. We’ve all been in that place where it’s close to the cardboard roll and you have to be MacGuyver to make a clean get-away. This will force you to get creative while taking good care of each square.
- Use both sides. I mean that. I bet some people are afraid to look at or get close to their own skid-marks. But I say it’s better to know how your body’s handling the business of your health. Fold the paper again and again using a clean angle from the very same square. There’s a lot of real estate wasted on each sheet when you only wipe once.
- Should you find the paper too thin and become the victim of too many breakthroughs, try using a stronger material as a backing. This worked when I was camping. The paper wasn’t holding up in the dampness of camp, so I used a leaf to give the paper more strength from behind. Plus the leaf was textured, which handled the job with far more efficiency than just the paper by itself.
