The stars were out in full force in Hollywood, when the cast of Inception, ” Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard and Ellen Page, among others, hit the red carpet to promote the opening of their new film. 

It was an amazing affair benefiting The Alliance for Climate Protection produced by Samantha Sackler of Events In Motion. 

Green elements to the event were a bio-diesel generator and all trash sorted between waste, compostable, and recyclable. No plastic was used at the bar including water served from pitchers and no stirrers. All 100% recycled cocktail napkins were used and the florals were mostly obtained from California growers. The menu was organic and used sustainable seafood.
