The 14th Annual Environmental Media Association Awards

The 14th Annual Environmental Media Association (EMA) Awards were held on November 17 at the Ebell Theater in Los Angeles. The EMA awards recognize the creative teams behind film and television productions that increase public awareness of environmental issues and inspire personal action. Two special individual awards were presented to Daryl Hannah and Willie Nelson. EMA’s highest honor, The Board of Directors’ ‘Ongoing Commitment Award’ was presented to Daryl Hannah for being an example of environmental activism by living on solar power, cultivating organic gardens and driving clean bio-diesel vehicles. The ‘Mission in Music Award’ was given to Willie Nelson for using his talent to influence and protect our natural resources, and promote sustainable and organic farming. This year’s top production awards went to Without a Trace, The Simpsons and The Day After Tommorow. The party afterwards was a showcase for all things green sending the message that “green is hip.”
