Team Gisele and Team Don face off for World Environment Day on June 5
It’s not every day you see an international supermodel squaring up to a Hollywood actor.
But as the countdown to World Environment Day (WED) on June 5th begins, Gisele Bündchen and Don Cheadle are taking off the gloves to do battle.
The UN Environment Programme Goodwill Ambassadors are facing off for the ultimate WED Challenge – and they’re hungry for votes.
World Environment Day is all about positive action for the environment and underscores how the power of our individual actions, when combined, is exponential. In the run-up to WED, individuals, groups, families and schools – even entire communities – can post details of their planned green events online at www.wedchallenge.org
Whether it’s switching from plastic bags to cloth bags, car-pooling with colleagues or organizing a tree-planting day, WED activities can be big, small, local, international, noisy, quiet….just as long as they’re green.
Pick your team
Once you’ve registered your activity, you’ll be asked to pledge your activity to either Don or Gisele.
Full of goodwill, Gisele has pledged to plant a tree for every activity registered in her name. Full of confidence, Don Cheadle has pledged to plant two.

But when the votes are calculated on June 5th, the result will be a new forest planted by the winner leaving the perfect legacy from the global WED community.
