Description

Environmental Media Association CEO Debbie Levin invites you to watch this year's EMA Awards, hosted by Lance Bass, on August 20, 2020. We talk about the role of storytelling and celebrity in making sustainability mainstream. Levin took on leadership at the EMA in 2020 and created a very successful approach to using celebrities to make environmental stories tangible to viewers. We discuss the importance of transparency and accountability in media, the positive role stars can play in raising awareness, and how the EMA has evolved. Levin shares the story of how she put Hollywood in the Toyota Prius, making the car an attractive option for many consumers who first encountered electric vehicles when stars drove them to the Oscars, Emmy Awards and other heavily covered media events.With nominees that include the films Dark Waters and Frozen 2, television shows including Discovery's The Story of Plastic and CNN's Ted Turner: Captain Planet, as well as comedies such as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Politician, among many others, the EMA Awards is a great way to discover the best of environmental viewing. The EMA also produces a star-studded annual EMA Impact Summit, which brings celebrities and experts together to raise awareness about nature and human impacts on the ecosystem. Want to dig into deep topics with discussions between environmentalist celebrities and scientists about climate change and COVID-19, planetary health, clothing recycling, and more EMA Talks, a recent addition to the EMA's outreach efforts.
