Ian named UN ambassador


"The Vampire Diaries cast member has kept busy these past few weeks opening up a furniture shop (centered on re-purposing barnwood) with his brother Bob, receiving the Wyler Award at the 26th Annual Genesis Awards, visiting Compton High School’s recycling club to chat with kids about going green, leading a beach cleanup day in Santa Monica as part of ISF’s “Let’s Get Dirty Campaign,” and hosting the incredible Influence Affair event. And that’s not all! Judging by breaking news, the charitable actor now has another accomplishment to be proud of — becoming a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Program! As a U.N. ambassador, Ian Somerhalder will join Don Cheadle and Gisele Bundchen in encouraging fans to get involved in meaningful green activities such as preserving wildlife, planting trees, and more.
As part of his first official task, Ian will help host the June 5th event “World Environment Day”! It sounds like a lot of work but the smoldering TVD sensation is definitely no stranger to dedicating his time and energy to educating younger generations about keeping the Earth clean and promoting Eco-friendly routines."

yeyyyy congrats Ian so so well deserved
