Colbert Joins Environmentalist Movement

Stephen Colbert is serious about the environment – partly so anyway. According to The Hill, the host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” has given his support to the "America's Great Outdoors" campaign, which wants the Obama administration to implement a new policy to preserve outdoor spaces.

“I am something of an outdoorsman in that I occasionally go out of doors — to hail a cab, let's say," Colbert says on the website greatoutdoorsamerica.org, which also includes his picture.

"But there are parts of this great nation that don't have asphalt. I encourage you to go explore and support them. But watch out for bears!"
