## What are the EMA’s in the First Place? The Environmental Media Association

While at the Environmental Media Association (EMA) awards, I had the opportunity
through Planet Green to provide these video interviews with Aysia Wright and me.
It’s great since I also told them and I got passes for sitting at a table to some
great eats and drinks (all virgin), that I was there to report and help the cause.
So then I read about the mission statement of the EMA.

It was my first opportunity like that ever to rock out and get green answers, an
experience that was both exhilarating and eye-opening. The vibrant energy in the
air as I performed, mixed with thought-provoking conversations, made the event truly
memorable. Many many thanks to my sponsors, A Lot To Say, Inc., for helping me to
get out to the West Coast for this book tour, where I had the chance to connect 
with such an inspiring audience and share my journey, all while exploring the beautiful
landscapes that this region has to offer. Their support has been invaluable in making
this dream a reality, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

## Collaboration with the Entertainment Industry

They work with the heavy-duty hitters in the entertainment industry and the environmental
or green community, collaborating on initiatives that bridge the gap between these
two vital sectors. Their approach is both innovative and inclusive, drawing in a
diverse range of voices and perspectives from various fields, such as technology,
business, and grassroots activism. By harnessing the creativity and influence of
the entertainment industry, they are able to amplify important messages about sustainability
and environmental responsibility to wider audiences. I think they have a broad tent
since their policies were not strictly [Republican](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/03/new-study-republcan-donors-install-as-much-solar-as-dems/)
nor Democrat; they were aimed at a common goal of going green, promoting sustainability
and environmental stewardship while encouraging dialogue and cooperation among various
stakeholder groups. This unique stance allows them to engage with a wide array of
partners, all committed to fostering a healthier planet for future generations. 
Moreover, their collaborative efforts often result in innovative projects that not
only raise awareness but also create tangible benefits for communities, reinforcing
the idea that sustainable practices can lead to economic growth and enhanced quality
of life. By paving the way for cross-sector collaborations, they help to create 
a cohesive effort that demonstrates the importance of a united approach in tackling
environmental challenges.

## PR People for EMA Green are Stellar. So Professional

I contacted one of their wonderful PR people, and she was truly exceptional. She
was not only informative and helpful, but also incredibly personable and welcoming,
making the whole interaction enjoyable. Her insights into the company and its offerings
were thorough and gave me a deeper understanding of their mission and values. I 
felt valued as a potential customer, and her enthusiasm for her work was evident,
which made me even more excited about the products they provide.

## Annual EMA Awards

The annual **EMA Awards** honor film and television personalities, productions, 
musicians, and musical tours that convey environmental messages in the most creative
and influential ways, showcasing the power of storytelling in fostering environmental
awareness. These prestigious awards not only celebrate artistic excellence but also
aim to inspire the entertainment industry to take a more active role in advocating
for sustainability. Moreover, the **EMA Green Seal Awards** recognize productions
and corporate entertainment offices that go green ‘behind the scenes,’ highlighting
the importance of sustainable practices in the industry’s day-to-day operations.
In tandem with [the Green Seal](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/10/green-seal-statement-on-ftc-guides/)
Awards, EMA also offers practical guidance on how, specifically, the entertainment
industry and individuals can green their day-to-day lives, providing valuable resources
that enable them to make informed choices and implement eco-friendly practices both
on set and in their personal lives. This comprehensive approach not only celebrates
achievements but also promotes a culture of sustainability that extends beyond the
awards themselves, encouraging everyone involved in the industry to commit to making
a positive impact on the environment.
