No matter what you may think about Robert Downey Jr. you have to appreciate this.

Our world is definitely facing a crisis in terms of global warming, and Downey is putting his money where his mouth is and is helping to fix it.

Before we get into the details, let's explain what Nanotechnology is.

If you're a Marvel fan, you actually might already know this!

Simply: it's tech that can manipulate atoms and molecules.

Downey already has experience with this from the Marvel films.

Sure, it's CGI, but it still counts, right?

Anyway, we saw his Iron Man suit take form in Infinity War through the use of nanotechnology.

It seems that his character has inspired Downey to make a global change.

Tony Stark has helped the world on many accounts.

Downey is dedicating the next decade of his life to do the same thing.

Like his character, he is obsessed with technology.

He even has a YouTube channel dedicated to a docu-series about Artificial Intelligence!

So, Downey has cracked down and decided to put all our 2019 tech to good use.

“Between robotics and nanotechnology, we could clean up the planet significantly, if not totally, in 10 years,” Downey Jr. said.

He brought it up during his opening speech for Amazon's Re:Mars conference.

He announced that he will be launching an organization called The Footprint Coalition.

The group should be up and running within the year.

The group's goal?

To use their advanced artificial and nanotech to clean up the planet.

We seriously need it, too.

RDJ has basically become Tony Stark.

Fans always said that the two characters often blended because of their personalities.

But now, it's really official.

Good for you Downey.
