(Because they're less likely to ask difficult questions?), Emma Thompson Recruits Young UK Girls into the CO2 cult

Actress Emma Thompson — who most recently appeared as the disturbed Professor Sybill Trelawney in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix — is teaming up with Friends of the Earth to get kids involved in reducing their carbon footprint. The campaign is specifically targeting Guides and Brownies — the equivalent of United States’s Girl Scouts — to lead the change.

“Becoming a Climate Champion with Friends of the Earth will enable girls and young women to take effective action on climate change - the biggest challenge the planet faces,” said Thompson. “This is a fantastic opportunity for Girlguiding UK members all around the country to learn more about their carbon footprint, cut emissions and help make a real difference to their own lives and everyone else’s lives now and in the future.”

According to the release, the project aims to give members of Girlguiding UK a voice on environmental issues - a voice that will be listened to by Government.
