While Twitter continues its spiral into the billionaire black hole that is Elon Musk’s ego, some members of the Twitter community continue to try and use the platform to spread information about and awareness of more important things going on in our world. Actor Rainn Wilson, best known for his portrayal of Dwight in the American sitcom version of The Office, did just that.

Wilson has a very large Twitter following, numbering in the millions. On Thursday, Wilson used this platform to draw attention to an issue that continuously gets pushed to the back of the line but affects everyone living on our planet: climate change. Wilson spoke out on behalf of environmental advocacy group Arctic Basecamp to talk changing weather conditions brought about by human-driven climate change.

With world leaders heading to Egypt for the COP27 climate summit, Wilson used a simple technique to increase awareness—changing his social media account name. Wilson changed his name to “Rainnfall Heat Wave Rising Sea Levels Wilson." Along with linking to a fun website for generating and creating similar names for this purpose, Wilson also had ideas for changing other well-followed celebrity social media account names, as well.
