In celebration of World Ocean Day on June 8th, Oceana and skin care brand La Mer threw a cocktail reception in NYC last night. The main highlight was La Mer’s generous donation of $100,000 to the environmental organization. On hand to accept and celebrate were Ted Danson, Rosario Dawson, Michelle Trachtenberg, Bob and Lee Woodruff, Amber Valetta and many more famous and notable individuals.
“This is only the beginning of a partnership that will last a long, long time.” Ted Danson noted, “La Mer and Oceana are an elegant fit. Both are based in science and beauty.” Further cementing the relationship, La Mer announced a limited edition World Ocean Day crème, currently available in 173 locations in North America.
Check out some pictures from the event below. Oceana also released a “Top 10″ of things you can do to help save the ocean. Check them out after the jump.
In an effort to broaden the scope of their green programming, Discovery Channel announced this afternoon that Bob Woodruff from ABC News will anchor a weekly newscast on Planet Green. Slated to premiere in July (the network itself launches in June), “eco-cast” — as it is tentatively called — will be produced by ABC News and draw from its reporting and producing teams worldwide.
