Hollywood parties tend to run completely counter to the ideas of the environmental movement. Where going green is about using only what’s necessary and cutting back on the consumerism, most L.A. fetes are all about excess and laden swag bags. Fortunately, as more and more Americans have made the decision to go green, Hollywood has started to follow suit. Eco-friendly gifts are showing up in goodie bags at award shows and red carpets are starting to get green thanks to hybrid arrivals and more thorough recycling programs.

From start to finish, every detail of the affair was considered for it’s impact and on the earth and Fox took steps to make it as carbon-friendly as possible (with carbon offsets helping where planning couldn’t). Guests—like Glee’s Lea Michele and Dollhouse’s Eliza Dushku (pictured above)—learned of the event through e-invites instead of traditional paper printed invitations and those without hybrid rides of their own were offered eco-friendly transportation to the event (instead of the usual fuel-guzzling limos). Inside the Eco-Casino, LED lighting shed a green glow on things, local and organic food fed party goers, and rented reusable decor ensured that nothing was wasted for the sake of ambiance.
