This year's Environmental Media Association Awards ceremony was a huge success! Not only did it feature more A-list celebrities than past year's, but it also brought more media attention. The goal of the organization is to use the power of celebrity to get the word out about eco, green, and environmental practices, and this year they did just that! With a green carpet packed with celebrities and environmental gurus, the attendance brought more news and media outlet coverage.
The award ceremony was followed by an organic dinner prepared by award-winning chefs and a silent auction. OMI donated a Terra mattress for the auction which also included other enviromental and eco-concious items, with all proceeds going to various charities.
