LOS ANGELES, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Green With Pride(tm)" interactive initiative, debuting next to the Main Stage at L.A. PRIDE in West Hollywood, June 13-14, names multi-platinum and chart-dominating singer/actress Deborah Cox "National Green With Pride Ambassador." Ms. Cox, a global Pride festival favorite whose #1 dance hits include "Nobody's Supposed to be Here," "House is Not a Home," and her current hit -- which marks her 10th time at #1 -- "Beautiful U R" from her latest CD "The Promise," has been a supporter of the LGBT community for years. She also has been a believer when it comes to green issues and doing your part to help the environment. "Green With Pride presented by Clear2Go" is designed as a fun, accessible and 'edutaining' experience that will feature sustainable products, services and easy-to-use green tips over the 2-day festival.

PRIDE attendees will get an exclusive chance to meet Ms. Cox during an autograph session in the "Green With Pride presented by Clear2Go" area on Saturday, June 13, from 5-6 p.m.

"Thankfully I have a job that I absolutely love and a family that I am so blessed with but that means everything I do has to be efficient and I have to feel really good about it," said Cox. "I literally was just having the light bulbs changed out and I got a call from my friends at 'Green With Pride.' I was so excited about the initiative, and that the area is designed in a way that informs me and I don't have to turn my world upside down to make an impact; even one small change collectively makes a huge difference."
