Don Cheadle

Actor; USA

"A green economy is within our reach and we must take up the fight to see that these issues get the attention they merit—not for some lofty ideal of preserving a particular habitat or species because it is the “right thing to do,” but for the very selfish reason of ensuring that we, as a species, can go on.

I hope to use my position to more than cut the line at an airport or get a great table at a restaurant (though they are admittedly nice perks), and in my small way to be a voice in partnership with those trying to be heard and perhaps push their efforts over the tipping point. I hope to use my “celebrity” to push us back from the brink."
