Billie Eilish & Mom Maggie Baird Attend Environmental Media Association Awards Gala 2022
The Environmental Media Association held its annual awards gala on Saturday night, recognizing the efforts of those working toward a healthier planet. Don’t Look Up, Abbott Elementary, Yellowstone and The Problem with Jon Stewart were among the productions feted for their work in following green practices and telling stories of environmental justice, climate action and sustainability.
Billie Eilish and her mother Maggie posed together on the red carpet while arriving at the 2022 Environmental Media Association Awards Gala on Saturday evening (October 8) in Los Angeles.
Other stars in attendance included Lance Bass, Twilight alums Nikki Reed and Peter Facinelli, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Just Shoot Me! alums David Spade and Wendie Malick, Orange is the New Black actress Lauren Lapkus, model Quannah Chasinghorse, Malin Akerman and husband Jack Donnelly, True Blood actor Sam Trammell and girlfriend Emmanuelle Chriqui, NCIS: Los Angeles actor Eric Christian Olsen and wife Sarah Wright, and Emile Hirsch.
Eilish and Baird were on hand to accept the award, as Eilish admitted, “I feel like I know nothing all the time, and I never feel like I’m doing enough in a lot of ways, especially in the environment and the world, and I’m always looking to do something else. I feel that people aren’t thinking about it as much as I want them to, especially when I work with brands and we make things — and just the fashion industry, which I’m such a big fan of and really involved with. It’s just horribly upsetting the way people aren’t really thinking about it first.”
My mom has been the person that is always thinking about it, in this way that I’m just so in awe of,” Eilish continued. “I’m always just trying to do what I think my mom would want me to do, and she’s always thinking ahead and cares so much about the world and people and animals and beings. I love my mom, and she’s really the reason that I give a fuck.”
