Redlands, CA - TV’s most famous environmentalist, Ed Begley, Jr. will be at the Redlands Barnes & Noble on Monday, July 28th from 4.00pm - 6:00pm to promote his book, “Living Like Ed - A Guide to the Eco-Friendly Life.”
Begley, famous for stunts like using a bicycle to generate electricity for his television and driving an electric car, will appear at the Redlands bookstore to help raise funds for the Highland Environmental Education Coalition (HEEC). Mention HEEC at the registers, and the bookstore will donate a percentage of the proceeds to the local organization.
“We are delighted to welcome renowned environmentalist and eco-pioneer, Ed Begley, Jr. to Redlands,” said Erin Job, store manager at Barnes & Noble. “His commitment to green living is truly admirable.”
Begley’s philosophy, “to live simply so that others may simply live,” has been instrumental in educating a reluctant American public about the importance of reducing consumption and going green.
“It’s all about making choices,” says Andrea Saavedra, HEEC president. “For example, you’ve got lots of choices when it comes to transportation. You can walk. You can ride a bike. You can take a bus, drive a car or a hybrid, or travel by plane. Ed Begley, Jr. puts these choices into an easy-to-understand hierarchy of options depending on how far you have to go. It’s simple, but these are choices that will impact future generations.”
Begley will hold a book signing at Barnes & Noble from 4-6pm, and will give a lecture at Highland’s Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center from 6:30pm -7:30pm.
