Mad Men‘s Vincent Kartheiser is the kind guy you can’t help but admire for his green attitude. He spends very little time in a personal vehicle, doesn’t want to procreate and empties his vegetarian digestive system of the 3-bean, brown rice, tofu, kale and spinach in a 7-grain tortilla wrap into his neighbor’s toilet to save water.

And this guy loves fast trains.

But there’s more.

Kartheiser is happy to spread the word and let others know how they can measure their carbon footprint.

During a recent interview with Good.is, Kartheiser discussed using carbon calculators.

“I try to do a little of what I can in my life to reduce my impact. A lot of people do. Maybe they’re vegetarians. Maybe they don’t have a lawn. Maybe they don’t drive their car all the time. There’s this website where you can check your carbon footprint. [Ed note: We’ve always been partial to this carbon calculator from University of California, Berkeley.] You put in what your gas bill was, what kind of car and how many miles you drive, if you’re a vegetarian, and so on.”

Vincent Kartheiser has already greened his life by taking the bus or train instead of a car, eating vegetarian and using his neighbor’s john.

Now Kartheiser and his Mad Men co-star Rich Sommer are starring in a PSA for high-speed rail that was created by the public-interest advocacy group U.S. PIRG.

The video is set to debut this Wednesday, March 9, but U.S. PIRG posted a teaser on their Facebook page last week.

The clip shows Kartheiser and Sommer in the Mad Men 1965 setting discussing the possibility of high-speed trains.

“Mad Men” actor Vincent Kartheiser is a model in living green in the strictest sense. When he needs to use the restroom, he must rely on the neighbor’s toilet because he doesn’t own one. He’s also a vegetarian, avoids driving and does not plan to have children. Is he a “mad man” for doing all these things?

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Kartheiser explained his car flooded, and while waiting for insurance to take care of issues, he started to take the bus and train.

“I found that it enriched my life. It actually made my life better to slow down a little bit and walk through the city and interact with people that I usually kind of speed by on the freeway.”

As for the bathroom issue, he says he eventually will get a toilet.

“My house is just a wooden box. I mean I am planning to get a toilet at some point. But for now I have to go to the neighbours. I threw it all out.”

Vincent will probably be investigating eco-friendly toilets, such as tankless systems or those that adjust the level of water with the volume of material being flushed down.

Kudos to the neighbors for letting him use theirs. Who would be willing to let this happen when your fellow vegetarian who just finished a bowl of beans, lentils and other fibrous material comes over with the “urgent” need to use your tank?

Watch the video from the Huffington Post below.
