Thank the powers that be that we haven't seen the last of Don Cheadle as Captain Planet!

Not only are we getting one hell of a goofy series of sketches, but we're getting an A-List actor to spend his time doing it. We don't know about you, but that totally makes it extra hilarious for us… and we have TWO new installments, not just one!

In this episode arc, the Captain tries to take out the final Planeteer — will he succeed?

Find out (above) and… AFTER THE JUMP!!!

How fab is this??

That picture (above) is of Damon Wayans Jr. celebrating American Recycles Day… but kicking a field goal through a 21-foot goal post constructed from 125,000 crushed Bud Light cans.

Amazing! We had no idea he could do that!

He did it in the Bud Light Recycling Zone, which is an interactive traveling display that has visited nine cities across the United States this year to encourage and inform NFL fans about the importance of recycling!

We think this is such a great initiative — and we'd love to see more of this kind of work from major companies and celebs alike!

Do you love recycling??

Not as much as will.i.am and The Coca-Cola Company do!

We mean, they showed up to the EKOCYCLE Partner Launch — where were you?? Ha!

The whole thing was green-focused… it featured a build out that included sustainable materials throughout the space to offer an inside visual look at the EKOCYCLE story and process, in addition to exclusive artwork created by famed artist Buff Monster (we didn't make that up).

EKOCYCLE is ready to handle more and more brands, which is fab because they already have a huge load

When it comes to mother Earth, Kristen Bell cares a whole lot.

She's thinking green, conservation on her mind, even while in the bathroom!

Say whaaaat?

That's right! She's teamed up with Neutrogena for a new campaign to help save five million gallons of water!

Ian Somerhalder is a real vampire champion for the environment!

He is urging people to vote to help the environment out!

Both candidates have pretty different stances on environmental issues, and Ian wants you to choose green! (Not the green party, green as in environmentally friendly.)

He said:

Leave it to Japan to come up with yet ANOTHER crazy toilet idea.

Though this seems much more practical than the toilet motorcycle.

Low flow toilets save so much water per flush but they often leave behind… waste.

Yuck.

So Japanese toilet maker TOTO came up with a Double Cyclone flushing system.

According to satellite data, the earth produces 53.6 petagrams of plants a year. No, a petagram isn't a letter from Josh Hutcherson, it's about 2.2 trillion lbs.

Of that, humans use about 40%, or about 24 billion tons!

That seems like a lot of salad, but it might not be enough!
