Nicole Richie attended the Environmental Media Association’s Organic Garden launch at the Helen Berstein High School in LA yesterday, May 12, to show her support of organic gardens in urban schools.

“I’ve been part of the Environmental Media Association for about 4 or 5 years now,” the 27-year-old told Hollyscoop. "Being in a school with the environment of education, it really doesn’t make sense to educate children on math, science, history and not educate them on nutrition and taking care of our planet. It seems that it is our responsibility to make sure that happens.

“What’s so great now is that it’s kind of become so popular [to go green] and it’s definitely more accessible. More people are going towards wood and glass and you can find that at Target or Walgreens, you can really find it everywhere. It’s definitely around and accessible to everyone, which is really great.”

Amy Smart also attended the event. To find out more about the Environmental Media Association, visit their website.

Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes have created Public Service Announcements to encourage people to recycle their old cell phones.

The ads – created by the Environmental Media Association and Lionsgate Films – will be released on Friday, with their first appearance in People Magazine. The PSAs will tie in with the actresses’ new movie, The Spirit, and will reinforce the EMA’s goal to lower the amount of carbon dioxide emissions created by the production of new phones.

The film’s website claims that “old phones can’t be thrown away as they have parts that are considered toxic”, and includes the opportunity to download postage-paid mailing labels to recycle old cell phones for free. It also includes tips on how to become an environmental hero in ten steps – such as stop using bottled water, carry reusable bags, and utilize public transport.
