Gisele Bundchen’s Got a Green Thumb

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen partnered up with Marie Claire magazine to talk about her efforts in sustainability. Apparently, for her 40th birthday the model and Goodwill Ambassador plans to plant 40,000 trees in her native Brazil. Here is what she had to say about teaching her children about sustainability and caring for our planet.

“I try to lead by example in my daily life and teach my children about all the incredible things that our planet provides us. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for our planet; this is our only home. As a mother, I cherish the moments we get to spend in nature and learn together by doing. I love seeing my kids get excited when they find fresh eggs in our chicken coop or harvest the vegetables from our garden.”

Gisele kneeling down in the dirt, hand picking her kale tells me one thing, she makes sustainability look good.
