Anything we missed?

Prior to him hitting the stage to deliver Greenfair Silicon Valley’s keynote address, we talked transit and the beauty of a good walk with eco-activist, actor, author and entrepreneur Ed Begley, Jr., star of the tv show “Living with Ed” and author of Living Like Ed

How do you eco?

I try to do it every day of my life with my transportation and everything else. For me walking is #1, biking is #2, public transport is #3, my electric car is #4 and sometimes it’s even my wife’s Prius.

Why did you go eco?

I grew up in smoggy LA. In the 1970s I decided that I was going to do everything I could to make things better. Today we have four times the cars in LA than we did 20 years ago and half the smog, so we’re making some progress. I say to people “Who wouldn’t want to make LA or Houston or anywhere else cleaner; lessen our dependence on foreign oil and put some money in your pocket.”

What’s your favorite eco tip?

Try it. Just get out of your car.
