Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has reportedly been approached by environmental campaign group Greenpeace to become their global ambassador, after declared her love for clean environment.
The decision to make her the global ambassador at Greenpeace comes after she publicly declared: “I cannot not be green.”
The ‘Harry Potter’ actress is an apt choice, as she revealed that she is a very eco-friendly human being.
“I did my end of school project on global warming and Hurricane Katrina,” the Telegraph quoted Emma as saying.
“My car is electric, I recycle, I take public transportation, I try not to buy and drink bottled water. I’m not perfect, but it’s something I feel strongly about,” Emma added.
A spokesman for Greenpeace revealed that Watson would be “perfect” as an ambassador for the organization.
“Emma would be perfect for us. She’s posh, pretty, brainy and committed. She’s also not too star struck to care if it’s seen as vaguely controversial. She would really help,” the spokesman stated. (ANI)

The 19-year-old, who rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger in the hit wizard series, is due to begin college at the esteemed Yale University in September.
The French-born British star, who would study history, English, French, politics and art, revealed she wanted to be a geek again, reports the ‘China Daily’.
She told Interview magazine: "For someone who has missed as much school as I have, I want to go back and discover what else there is. I always loved school - I was a proper, proper nerd. I just want that back again."
She continued: "Since I haven't been in school since July, I've only now realised how much I miss it. I don't make time for it now, and you really have to sit yourself down and think about it and do it.
"As much as I could, when I wasn't filming, I would go to school. When filming, I would send all of my work back to be marked by my teachers. As I got older, though, it was harder to slip in and out."
