In honor of Earth Day, it’s time we stare an inarguable fact straight in the face: without the tireless efforts of Al Gore and people in Hollywood, our planet would be doomed to die a miserable death. Take Harrison Ford, for example. Do you think the man who gave us Han Solo would spend his Earth Day sitting around on his lazy ass, just waiting for some punk with a lightsaber to show up and save the environment? Hell no! Harrison got out there and did his part by making a metaphorical point about the dangers of deforestation while getting a nice, classy-looking chest wax in the process. According to Access Hollywood:

Harrison invited Access Hollywood along as he embarked on a personal project to promote going green. And just how did Harrison, who is the vice chair of the global environment group Conservation International, want to get his message across?

By waxing his chest, of course. In an effort to showcase the pain involved in deforestation, Harrison willingly subject himself to the painful process of stripping his chest of all its follicles.

As Harrison knows, no one’s gonna listen to all this “Save The Trees!” jive when it’s some scruffy-looking Hippie whose overgrown chest hair looks like Bob Ross standing on top of a rainforest. But when it’s a dapper old movie star with a green earring and a chest as smooth and hairless as Short Round’s just-lotioned bottom? That’s one truth that just got a little more convenient.
