You can’t have an award show without over-the-top gifting suites and last night’s MTV Movie Awards was no exception. Serious amounts of swag were passed out including some green goodies. At the 2009 MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet Style Lounge celebrities walked away with Envi Reusable Bags made from sustainable materials and bamboo woven pants from organic clothing boutique Jonano.

Burnquist, a pro skateboarder, is an environmentalist, too. He co-founded the Action Sports Environmental Coalition (ASEC), which dismantles wooden ramps at skateboarding events and recycles them by donating the materials to inner city groups.
