Ed Begley, Jr.
The environmental crisis is all a result of rushing.
Ed Begley, Jr.
By 1990 I went back to no gasoline I was just riding around on my bike, taking the bus. I had a tiny little electric car that didn't go very far or very fast. People thought I'd lost my mind. Even my own family thought I'd lost my mind.
