Gisele Bündchen - U.N. Goodwill Ambassador
by ERICA LIEPMANN, Causecast Associate Editor
The United Nations announced Sunday that Gisele Bundchen will be joining the ranks as the newest Goodwill Ambassador to the Environment Programme.
Gisele sites her childhood experiences exploring nature and an eye-opening her trip to the Amazon in 2003 as the primary reasons that inspire her love and commitment to the environment. On her environmental blog, available in both her native Portuguese and English, Gisele and her team of bloggers keep their eyes on issues such as climate change, preserving the rainforest and cleaning up the world’s oceans. Her most recent post urges readers to check out the U.N.’s latest PSA, growing momentum around the upcoming Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
Well with Gisele joining the list of celebrity-activists that serve as Goodwill Ambassadors, it looks like Spike TV will need to get to work drafting up a new list of the hottest Goodwill Ambassadors.
