It wasn't hard to convince the smart and sexy Amanda Griffin, top model, host and VJ, to support the Greenpeace climate change campaign. Amanda, who has been in the limelight since age 12, was only too happy to give her time to take action for the environment. “I want to put out the message that it’s not too late to start doing something,” she explains, “Everything that every person does helps no matter how small it is.”
Amanda has given a
lot of her time for this campaign. She braved the Saturday mall crowd
to ask people to sign a petition to save the climate, she
appeared in
her TV show, F, wearing a Greenpeace shirt, and she will be joining
Greenpeace
aboard the Rainbow Warrior to Tubbataha at the end of the month to bear
witness
to what is at stake if climate change worsens.
“I’m
a great lover of the ocean. Climate change is killing off coral reefs,
and
that’s pretty much irreversible,” says Amanda who is an avid diver and
part
owner of swimwear boutique Tabu, “I chose to support Greenpeace because
they’re
very proactive. Hopefully one by one people will sit up and take
notice.”
