For her new work with Mark at Avon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Ashley Greene has been recognized by PETA and awarded their Kind Choices Award.
The award was granted to Greene "for her compassionate decision to represent Avon, which led the cosmetics industry by ending all tests on animals and is widely recognized for its commitment to a cruelty-free testing policy."
Ecorazzi reports that PETA's Vice President of Laboratory Investigations, Kathy Guillermo, stated that Greene's decision helps by "encouraging millions of Twilight fans and other young people to choose makeup that’s fun, not fatal."
This is not the first time a Twilight star has had dealings with PETA. Twilight itself was granted the award for "Most Animal-Friendly Movie," and Twilight stars like Christian Serratos and Kellan Lutz have also campaigned for the organization's various efforts.
