Dawson's involvement with the Environmental Media Association placed her in the midst of a scandal. She volunteered as the celebrity mentor to the Westminster Avenue Elementary School garden and appeared at a May 26, 2010 garden event sponsored by Kellogg Garden Products.[3][4] While Kellogg Garden Products sells some organic soil amendments, the majority of its business is selling sewage sludge-based composts, which are illegal to use in organic farms and gardens. In the picture at left, you can see a bag of Kellogg's Amend with Dawson. For more on this controversy, see the article on the Environmental Media Association.
