Ed Begely Jr., Alternative Energy and Fitness
April 14th 2010 17:51
Ed Begley, Jr., best known as Dr. Victor Ehrlich on the long-running television series St. Elsewhere, shows up at star studded Hollywood functions on a bicycle. One in a blue moon we might catch a glimpse of him in a movie or television show, such as Pineapple Express.
His effort in the environmental community has warranted him awards from major environmental groups in the nation, including the California League of Conservation Voters, The Coalition for Clean Air, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Heal the Bay and the Santa Monica Baykeeper.
He is a strong supporter of solar systems and encourages homeowners with roofs that receive the full sun throughout the day to take advantage of small solar systems.
Begley, Jr. owns a high-end solar system, which makes his home in Los Angeles self-sufficient. But for those homeowners who would rather have a small system with far fewer panels, he believes, is an excellent way to start being green. He feels strongly about the issue and states on his website the urgency of forming subsidies to those homeowners who want solar.
The fact that he rides a bicycle instead of driving car must mean he is in physical shape, too. Even though Begley is being green, he is also staying in shape by using an alternative form of transportation.
It's something to think about while riding your bike to work.
