The Environmental Media Network is the official podcast of EMA, the Environmental Media Association. Founded in 1989 by Cindy and Alan Horn and Lyn and Norman Lear, EMA believes that through television, film and music, the entertainment community has the power to influence the environmental awareness of millions of people. We mobilize the entertainment industry in educating people about environmental issues, which in turn, inspires them to take action. A pioneer in linking the power of celebrity to environmental awareness, it was EMA who invented the ‘green carpet,’ launching the concept of taking a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle – not a limo – to high profile awards events and bringing the concept of alternative automotive technology to millions of previously unaware households. EMA is a non-profit 501(c)3
