Christmas WishList: Living Like Ed

"Ed Begley Jr. got off of his electric hybrid bicycle long enough to write a book. Living Like Ed: A Guide to the Eco-Friendly Life offers the Hollywood actor's tips to adding a little bit (or a lot) of green to your life.

The book strives to provide advice for simple changes such as stench-free composing all the way to more significant, longer-term environmental commitments like your first purchase of an electric car. Ed's wife even pitches in her ideas of how to stay eco-conscious without sacrificing style.

And for all of those fans residing in the Los Angeles area that just can't get enough of Ed and his green ways, he'll be appearing tomorrow night, February 26 at Book Soup in West Hollywood. Maybe you can even convince him to let you sit on the handle bars while he takes you for a spin around the block on that bike." -http://www.ecollo.com/
