She's a keen environmentalist on a mission to halt and save the planet.
And Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio used her December cover story for to spread her message.
The 38-year-old traveled to Arabia, which she called one of her favorite places, for the photoshoot in the warm waters around Abu Dhabi’s Zaya Nurai Island.
Growing up in Brazil, Alessandro stated, 'I always cared about the ocean. When I was growing up, I wanted to be a marine biologist. I always spent quality time with my family and all my vacations by the beach.
'And of course, I always pretended to be a mermaid… naturally.'
The brunette beauty joined forces with UN’s #TOGETHERBAND initiative last summer, a global movement committed to achieving 17 goals – from ending poverty and hunger to building sustainable cities and preserving life below the water.
That aim immediately appealed to Alessandra. 'It’s about changing everyone’s mentality. Back in the day we didn’t waste so much. Now everything is trash, trash and more trash. And everything ends up in the ocean.'
The mother of Anja, 11, and Noah, seven, added: 'Soon our kids are going to be swimming in a sea of plastic. They’re not going to enjoy anything that we did. That’s the message I’ve been trying to express.

Yup, we all know that those “supermodels” are superb scientists and have the best credentials. Evah!
Or is that they are bimbos?
Hmmmmm........
Cutting back on plastic that ends up in the ocean is actually a cause I can support and a disaster that IS manmade
So when they’ve fished this stuff out of the ocean and brought it up on the shore; what do they do with it then?
I have no problem with dealing with plastic pollution but please campaign in China and India.
Did she have that swimsuit in Saudi Arabia? In clear violation of Muslim modesty standards for women?
Speaking of trash in the ocean... 
They ship it to China who throw it all back into the ocean.
Congratulations!!
Your virtue-signaling for today, December 10, 2019 is satisfied.
If one is getting one’s scientific knowledge from a person’s who skill is having big boobs and a flat belly, you probably shouldn’t talk on the subject.
90% of all ocean plastic comes from four rivers — in China.
No. 5-20 is India and the rest of Asia.
Trash from the USA is overwhelmingly put in landfills, and, despite the myth, there is plenty of empty land for things.
It’s all a non-issue.
I am sure she got to Arabia in a sail boat. And I would be interested to know what her overall pollution footprint (envelope) is. So, until you live like me, please don’t lecture me. Shut up and just be pretty.
Oh my God, why is it that so many girls want to be a marine biologist? Bith of my daughters wanted to be marine biologist ls at some point in their lives, my niece mentioned it just the other day. I doubt if a single one of them even knows what a marine biologist does.
Go back to glass containers... dump a glass bottle in the ocean and it a few years it’s ‘sea glass’... after than it’s basically sand.
Yeah, but it beats looking at Greta again.
Plastic in the ocean is largely a third world problem. They don’t have garbage service with curbside pickups. Heck they don’t even have curbs. When they get too much plastic garbage they take it and toss it off the bridge. Then when the rain comes it washes out to the ocean. This is entirely true and verifiable. We ban convenient plastic bags but the net effect on ocean pollution is essentially zero because we aren’t the major cause of the problem.
For our parr we should stop selling food in plastic packaging to all the starving people of the planet. That is the extent of our involvement. We could build landfills under their bridges but that would be a short term fix.
She wanted to be a marine biologist. Isn’t George Constanza a marine biologist? I think he saved a whale at one time from a golfball in the blow hole
Yet more word salad from another jet-setting enviro-wacko...
If they want to meet the enemy of the planet, all they need to do is look in the mirror!
Send them books and videos on man-eating sharks...they might get the hint. ;-)
“ virtue signaling”
You do know that is fake outrage, right?
Who are you to call me a hypocrite?
Fortunately I am in a position to teach many kids and families to make simple alternative choices to buying so much single- use plastic that ends up polluting earth or waterways...forever,
