Barbra Streisand will add another award to her Emmy, Oscar and Grammy collection when she is honored for her environmental activism by the UCLA Institute of the Environment & Sustainability at its annual Hollywood for Science Gala.
“When I moved to L.A., the air was unbreathable. Rivers were catching fire in Ohio,” Streisand said in a statement. “Then public support and a number of farsighted politicians passed legislation to clean up our air and water. Now we face a planetary crisis of climate change. It is imperative for all humanity that we act now.”
Model Gisele Bündchen will also be honored at the event, which will be held at Jeanne and Tony Pritzker’s Bel Air estate on Feb. 21.
