As environmental issues become more pressing, there are two possible
responses: forget it and hope that government and corporations will
figure it out, or take action yourself.
In the “take action yourself” camp, a few individuals
are leading the way. One such person in California is Ed Begley,
Jr.
Environmental lawyer and long-time friend, Bobby Kennedy, Jr. has
said “Ed has a greater sense of social obligation than anyone
I know. He’s like a West Coast cadet who gets up every morning
and says ‘reporting for duty’”.

Turning up at Hollywood events on his bicycle, Ed has been considered
an environmental leader in the Hollywood community for many years.
He has served as chairman of the Environmental Media Association,
and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. He still serves on those
boards, as well as the Thoreau Institute, the Earth Communications
Office, Tree People and Friends of the Earth, among many others.
His work in the environmental community has earned him a number
of awards from some of the most prestigious environmental groups
in the nation, including the California League of Conservation Voters,
the Natural Resources Defense Council, The Coalition for Clean Air,
Heal the Bay and the Santa Monica Baykeeper.
He currently lives near Los Angeles in a self-sufficient home powered
by solar energy.
Ed Begley, Jr. is currently a member of the following organizations
and encourages you to support them as well.
