Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen is not just a pretty face- she has also garnered praise for her work in ecological conservation and education. Through her eco-friendly flip-flop line- Ipanema Gisele Bundchen- the supermodel has raised funds for conservation efforts in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest.
She also launched the Clean Water Project where she aims to protect micro-basins and all kinds of vegetation in her homeland Brasil. She started this with her famous football hubby and adorable children. In 2011, Harvard’s Center for Health and Global Environment named her the year’s Global Environmental Citizen and in January this year, she made a visit to Africa on behalf of the United Nations Environmental program.
Leonardo DiCaprio
As an environmentalist, DiCaprio is best known for having co-written, produced and narrated the global warming film “The 11th Hour.” But long after the credits rolled, his own Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation sought to make the world a better place by protecting important resources, including forest preservation, healthy oceans, clean water access and renewable energy.
DiCaprio actively serves on numerous environmental boards including the Natural Resources Defense Council, Global Green USA, World Wildlife Fund and the International Fund for Animal Welfare. On top of all this, he recently met with President Donald Trump to enlighten him on the subject of climate change.
