She’s not just another pretty face. Super hot model Gisele Bundchen has been named Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Program.

Bundchen told reporters that Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva should propose better laws to stop Amazon deforestation. Her comments were published Monday in major Brazilian newspapers. However, Silva argued that he is committed to the preservation of the Amazon and that his new proposal to limit sugarcane production in the Amazon exemplifies that.

“The environment has always been my passion,’’ Bundchen said. “I grew up in a small town and I had the opportunity to live surrounded by nature. I couldn’t have asked for a better childhood. We must act now, so future generations have the same opportunity. Mother Earth is our fundamental life-support system, and by becoming aware and responsible now, we can assist in preserving the planet.’’

Serious hottie Gisele Bundchen is a cartoon eco-hero! A new kids company called A Squared Entertainment has joined AOL to produce a set of webisodes for kids including one called GiGi & the Green Team. Along with Bundchen, the webisodes will feature other stars including Warren Buffett, Martha Stewart and the late Carl Sagan.

Rather than flaunting a giant, pink dinosaur or singing counting songs, these shows aim to teach kids about finance, the environment, creativity and science.

A press release says, “Gigi & The Green Team features an animated Gisele Bundchen, who lives a double life–supermodel by day, superhero protector of the environment by night. The series marks the first superhero series for girls that will educate, entertain, inspire and empower girls to protect and preserve the environment.”
