Welcome to FixingThePlanet.com!

I'm Ed Begley, Jr. "Live simply so others can simply live" is the creed that I believe in and live by. Our goal at FixingThePlanet.com is to give everyone simple, powerful ideas that inspire action, community, and commitment in an effort to make the world a better, safer place -- today and for generations to come.

Here’s how to get started.

SHARE: Tell a friend about your efforts and get them started by forwarding the FixIt list or this website address. “Share” also means tell us what you’re doing, how you’re doing, and what else we all can be doing, by using the FixingThePlanet.com discussion forums.

REPEAT: Do it all again tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that… Our sustained effort will help to fix the environmental problems we all face and absolutely make a difference. ACT. SHARE. REPEAT.

Sincerely,
Ed Begley, Jr.

This week President Obama presented his “down payment” on a nationwide high-speed” rail system. "This is not some fanciful, pie-in-the-sky vision of the future," Obama said during an event at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. "It is happening right now. It's been happening for decades. The problem is it's been happening elsewhere, not here."

All aboard!
