February 18th, 2015, drew a slew of eco-conscious stars to Hollywood hotspot Avalon for Global Green’s 12th annual Pre Oscar Party, where nominee Common head- lined the night with an energetic set that culminated in an electrifying performance of Best Song winner Glory, taken from Ava DuVernay’s Selma.
Twilight alum Ashley Greene and comedian Theo Von hosted the environmentally friendly event, which also featured musical performances from Jimmy Demers and Makana, along with a live auction and sustainable dinner courtesy of Chef Kai Loebach, starting with a kale and sprout salad; then entrees of salmon and farmers mar- ket vegetable curry entrees; and finished with a mason jar carrot cake parfait.
