Ed Begley Jr. Says Being Veg Can Help You Move Up The Ladder
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 5th, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green.
Actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. will be the Keynote speaker at the Carnegie Science Awards in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this Friday.
Ed plans to tell everyone to get involved with science, as awareness of the discipline can help the environment tremendously.
“If we had a good scientific awareness … I think the environment would fare better,” Begley said, according to pittsburghlive.com.
He cited numerous activities he took up to save money as a young adult that inadvertently lessened his environmental impact, including going vegetarian, riding a bike, and recycling. Doing these activities, he claimed, can really help you “move up the ladder.”
“When you save money from that, as I did, then you can move up the ladder and maybe buy some attic insulation, double-pane windows or a rain barrel,” he said. “It took me 20 years to be able to afford solar panels.”
Go veg now and in the next 20 years you might be able to show off your flashy solar panels to your envious neighbors.

I hope we will see some tax credits/other types of breaks for people and businesses that want to green their homes soon. Otherwise, the majority of people won’t be able to afford it. 20 years to get solar panels and he’s an actor? We need to make efficient and environmentally friendly ways of doing things the norm versus the exception for the elite.
