Living Green With Joel Stein

7 October 2007 - 9:00am

Los Angeles Times humorist Joel Stein gets advice on green living from actor and environmental activist Ed Begley.

"So, knowing I had to do something to make my home less polar bear kill-y, I invited Begley over. Sure, there's tons of information online on how to reduce my carbon footprint, but blindly following the advice of a celebrity seemed much more American...Begley arrived in his electric car bearing a pile of presents: canvas Whole Foods bags, Seventh Generation paper towels and a bunch of Begley's Best household cleaners. As long as he continues to do this every two months, I will be living much, much greener."
