We’re on a quest to give your favorite celeb a fruit basket for supporting green causes. Here’s why you should vote for Don Cheadle.

The question is really “why wouldn’t you vote for Don?” Besides being Oscar nominated for Hotel Rwanda and kicking ass alongside Iron Man, Cheadle is a U.N. Environmental Program ambassador. He travels the world raising awareness for climate change, and has lent his hosting talents to Showtime’s climate change series, Years of Living Dangerously. If you still have doubts, just rewatch the clip above.

Quote: “It seems like the same people that don’t want to believe in the science believe in science when they need to take a pill or believe in science when they you know want something to work right in their house that’s attributable to other smart people who put that together, but in this issue it’s gotta be part of something else.” — Years of Living Dangerously
