The organisation aims to promote green issues by encouraging those in the entertainment industry to spread the word. Justin received the Futures prize, thanks to his commitment to 'environmental commitment and activism'. He was thrilled with the accolade, and took to the stage in Burbank, California, to accept it. ' like a lot of green things like nature and money and things like Kermit the Frog, golf greens, Al Green, hell ' I even love Seth Green,' he joked. ' like all sorts of green herbs, some of which I take with medical prescription. It's legal! Uh, green tea. That's what I was referring to. Green tea.' Justin has created an eco-friendly golf course called Mirimichi in Memphis, Tennessee, which is where he comes from. That was one of the reasons he was honoured, with the star explaining golf and green issues are his two main passions in life. He used a quote from singer Joni Mitchell to discuss why he'd decided to create Mirimichi. 'My family and I heard that somebody was going to 'Pave paradise and turn it into a parking lot,' so I decided to buy paradise myself instead!' he said. The ceremony was held on Saturday night, with stars including Nicole Richie, Amy Smart, Daryl Hannah, Kim Raver and Kyra Sedgwick in attendance. © Cover Media To be in with a chance of winning 1000 CDs including rare, signed and promotional copies simply 'like' our Award Winning facebook page here!
