Mogelijk is Emma de nieuwe Summer Stella Girl voor het designmerk Stella McCartney. In onderstaande post wordt een preview geplaatst met daarbij de beschrijving dat de degene een acteur en activist is. Edit: Het bleek uiteindelijk model Cara Delevingne te zijn 🙂
Emma heeft samen met haar broer Alex een eigen gin merk gelanceerd genaamd Renais. Ingredieënten voor de gin komen uit Frankrijk en het wordt verder gedistiliseerd in de Groot-Britanië. Renais is eind april op de markt en ook te verzenden naar Nederland, een fles kost €52,95 waar zo’n €27,95 aan verzendkosten bijkomen (even eventuele importbelasting).
In de galerij zijn ook enkele outtakes te vinden van de promotionele fotoshoot die Emma had met haar broer Alex.
Emma heeft samen met enkele andere zo’n $12.5 miljoen geïntervenieerd in de nieuwe start-up FabricNano van het bedrijf Atomico.
Het nieuwe start-up heeft als doel om een nieuw soort biologisch afbreekbaar polyster te ontwikkelen tegen net zo’n goedkope prijs als de op olie-basis geproduceerde plastic. Daarnaast wordt hun nieuwe soort plastic gemaakt zonder het gebruik van levende organismes. De hoop is dat ze deze meer duurzame vorm van plastic op de markt kunnen brengen en hiermee een alternatief hebben voor het huidige plastic dat veel gebruikt wordt en nu een milieuramp veroorzaakt.
Plastic: Next to the burning of fossil fuels, it represents one of the greatest environmental threats facing the planet.
Researchers estimate that since 1950, more than 8.3 billion metric tons of the stuff has been produced, more than one ton for every person currently on the planet. Once used, much of it is burned. The rest winds up in landfills or in the ocean, where it can take up to five centuries to fully decompose. In the meantime, it poses a threat to wildlife and, through potentially carcinogenic microplastics that enter the food chain, us too.
London-based startup FabricNano is targeting this scourge with a new kind of manufacturing that harnesses the chemical laboratories that exist inside the cells of living organisms, but it does so without the need to actually use living things. Its first product is a precursor for the creation of biodegradable polyester, which FabricNano’s founders think they can produce at a price that will make it competitive with the petroleum-based plastics that are used in everything from water bottles to fast-food trays.
Among those inspired by that vision are actress Emma Watson of Harry Potter fame, Twitter cofounder Biz Stone, and Alexander Moscho, the former chief executive of Bayer. They are part of a $12.5 million investment round in FabricNano, led by London-based venture capital firm Atomico, announced today.

Volgens Emma’s filmagent is haar carrière momenteel sluimerend, wat volgens vele in de filmindustrie zou inhouden dat ze gestopt is met acteren. Emma’s publicist heeft bevestigd dat haar carrière momenteel sluimerend is en dat momenteel geen nieuwe projecten aanneemt. Een bron zou het volgende hebben laten weten:
‘Emma has gone underground, she is settling down with Leo. They’re laying low. Maybe she wants a family.’
Emma staat op de lijst van Oprah’s Mangazine jonge visionairs die de toekomst vormen, dit vooral door haar werk bij de UN waarvoor ze zich zet tegen voor gendergelijkheid.
“The actor who exemplified girl power as wizard Hermione Granger is now a UN Women goodwill ambassador who helped launch the HeforShe campaign, which supports gender equality. A proponent of ethical and eco-friendly fashion, Watson recently became chair of the sustainability committee on the board of French luxury conglomerate Kering, which owns Gucci, among other brands.”
Emma is één van de 400 vrouwen die een brief naar de Britse overheid heeft ondertekend in een omroep om meer vrouwen een rol te laten hebben in de UN’s COP26 summit die in november gehost zal worden door het land.
Four hundred women – including a host of female stars – have signed an open letter to the UK government calling for more women in “decision-making roles” at a global climate summit next year.
One woman has so far been appointed to the UK’s four-person leadership team for the UN’s COP26 summit, in Glasgow.
A letter, signed by actress Emma Watson and singer Ellie Goulding, says the gender balance was “incomprehensible”.
The government says it is committed to diversity.
The UK is hosting COP26, a UN climate change summit, in November 2021. It was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic but is seen as a crucial moment for global leaders to agree on further action to tackle climate change.
Conservative MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan has been appointed as the COP26 adaptation and resilience champion.
She will work alongside her all-male colleagues, COP26 president Alok Sharma, businessman Nigel Topping and former governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney.
But the letter, addressed to Mr Johnson and Mr Sharma, calls for the UK government to guarantee 50:50 gender balance at the leadership level.
It has also been signed by Hollywood actress Emma Thompson, MP Caroline Lucas, and Google’s Kate Brandt.
‘Not good enough’
A government spokesperson told the BBC that 45% of the senior management in the COP26 team is female, including the chief operating officer.But campaigners, including those who signed the letter, say these roles are mainly operational and there are not enough women in “influencing” leadership positions.
Xiye Bastida said the lack of representation at high level talks is disheartening
At last year’s COP25 climate change conference, 21% of the 196 heads of delegation were women, according to the UN.The youth climate movement has been led by prominent young women, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. But for Mexican indigenous activist, Xiye Bastida, the lack of representation at high level talks is disheartening.
“When you attend conferences, events, and panels, most of the people talking about climate are older white men,” she says.
“I’ve found myself in a position of feeling that I don’t know enough, or that my voice doesn’t matter enough, because there is a white man who dismisses my contributions. This is why I have signed this letter, because I believe that women bring heart and optimism into the fight for our lives.”
Fellow signatory, professor Lorraine Whitmarsh, director of the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST). said evidence shows “diversity in decision-making – including women and men – usually leads to better outcomes”.
“So a more gender balanced leadership of COP26 will not only be fairer, it will likely improve decision-making”, she says.
Emma zal samen met enkele andere feministen een nieuwe plattegrond maken voor de metro in Londen, de namen van station’s zullen vervangen worden voor belangrijke feministen en vrouwen. Dit zal gepubliceerd worden door Haymarket Books tijdens de internationale vrouwendag volgend jaar maart. Eerder is al een soortelijk project geweest voor de metrokaart van New York City.
Londoners Reni Eddo-Lodge and Emma Watson are collaborating with author Rebecca Solnit and geographer Joshua Jelly-Schapiro to reimagine London’s classic Tube map. The new public history project ‘City of London Women’ will redraw the classic London Underground map by naming each stop after a woman, non-binary person or a group.
The project is inspired by Solnit and Jelly-Schapiro’s acclaimed book Nonstop Metropolis, in which they reworked the New York City subway map to celebrate women who had made their mark on the city. The map then became an iconic poster and sparked numerous conversations about public space, history, gender, feminism, and memory. In 2019, the independent publisher Haymarket Books released a new version of the map with a revised list of station stops. Writing about the second edition of the map, Solnit said:
‘How does it impact our imaginations that so many places in so many cities are named after men and so few after women? What kind of landscape do we move through when streets and parks and statues and bridges are gendered … and it’s usually one gender, and not another? What kind of silence arises in places that so seldom speak of and to women? This map was made to sing the praises of the extraordinary women who have, since the beginning, been shapers and heroes of this city that has always been, secretly, a City of Women. And why not the subway? This is a history still emerging from underground, a reminder that it’s all connected, and that we get around.’
Now Solnit and Schapiro are partnering with London residents award-winning writer Reni Eddo-Lodge (author of Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People about Race) and actor and activist Emma Watson to create the City of Women London, using Transport for London’s iconic Tube map.
This offering is inspired by all the women and non-binary people who have shaped London’s history, as well as other projects that have already done much to re-imagine the city from a similar perspective. The contributors would particularly like to acknowledge previous reworkings of the London Underground map, such as We Apologise for the Delay to Your Journey by Thick/er Black Lines, the Literary Tube Map by In the Book, and other similar projects. The City of Women map hopes to further contribute to the way London is imagined, navigated, and lived.
The project is being launched in partnership with The WOW Foundation, which was founded by Jude Kelly CBE in 2010, when the first WOW – Women of the World Festival took place at London’s Southbank Centre. In 2018 Kelly founded The WOW Foundation to run the global movement as an independent charity. Through WOW festivals, events, schools programmes and more, WOW challenges the belief that gender equality has already been achieved – and hopes to join the dots between people, movements and ideas to change the world.
The creators of City of Women London will work with the WOW community, historians, writers, curators, community organisers, museums, and librarians, as well as crowdsourcing ideas from the public, to create the final map.
Haymarket Books will publish the project on International Women’s Day 2021, 8 March.
So many remarkable women and non-binary people have made their mark in the greater London area, the list of possible station names is dizzying: Ada Lovelace, April Ashley, Altheia Jones-LeCointe, Amy Winehouse, Bushra Nasir, Claudia Jones, Hannah Dadds, Jackie Forster, Jayaben Desai, Jenny Sealey, Jung Chang, the Match Girls, Mary Prince, Mary Seacole, Mary Wollstonecraft, Noor Inayat Khan, Paris Lees, Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, Sophia Duleep Singh, Tessa Sanderson, Virginia Woolf, Yvette Williams, Zadie Smith, and beyond.
We will never think of the Tube — or public space — the same way again.
