The actor famous for playing Dwight Schrute in the hit comedy series The Office announced Wednesday that he has changed his name in an act to protest climate change in the Arctic.
"Rainnfall Heatwave Rising Sea Levels and we have to do something about it now Wilson" is urging other celebrities to follow suit in order to bring awareness to the melting ice caps. Go to link in bio ⬆️ and create a name that will bring attention to this problem. Then - and this is the important part - change your social media profile or display name to match your new ArcticRisk name.
However, it doesn't seem like Wilson is permanently making the switch. According to the actor, it's a"cheap little stunt" designed to bring awareness to the issue. He said the change is being made on"Twitter, Instagram, and even on my fancy writing paper."He offered a few examples of other celebrity name changes, including"Jack Black Carbon is Killing Us,""Amy Poehler Bears are Endangered," and"Harrison Why Not Drive an Electric? Ford.
COP27 is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's 27th Conference of the Parties, which is currently being held in Egypt. President Joe Biden will attend the conference on Friday, where he is expected to tout U.S. efforts to decarbonize various sectors of its economy.Wilson has expressed his concern about the issue before and explained that he thinks his former character would be an activist.
“I think Dwight, with a connection to his character ‘Recyclops’ and his knowledge as a farmer, would come around to becoming some kind of climate change activist. At least, that's what I would hope for him as a character," he said during a 2020 interview, in reference to his famous character.
