It's people wanting to do something about global climate change. People fed up with the high price of gas. People tired of breathing dirty air. In Houston, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and other cities. It's going to be a critical mass of people experiencing something.
Ed Begley, Jr.
There are many different ways now to experience nature. Get out there and hike.
Ed Begley, Jr.
You can't just do one of the things, because it won't be enough to combat the climate change that we're already starting to experience. It will only get worse.
Ed Begley, Jr.
We, who have so much, must do more to help those in need. And most of all, we must live simply, so that others may simply live.
Ed Begley, Jr.
When you're in the public eye - whether it be entertainment, sports, medicine, politics, whatever way - you have an opportunity, and I think also an obligation and a responsibility, to disseminate good information.
Ed Begley, Jr.
The two most abundant forms of power on earth are solar and wind, and they're getting cheaper and cheaper.
Ed Begley, Jr.
If you're not buying recycled products, you're not really recycling.
Ed Begley, Jr.
Keep in mind, coal plants claim plenty of birds too. Sadly, hydro claims the lives of many fish. There is a price for everything. Solar does the best as far as very minimal wildlife damage.
