Welcome message from Ed Begley, Jr.
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.
ACT: Click here to view and/or download the FixingThePlanet.com FixIt List.. Pick one or two things that you can do right now -- today.
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.
Eco Proof Your House for the Winter
In our generally speaking less than sunny climate, we in the UK have come to depend on central heating systems to get us through the cruel winter months. Imagine where we would be without boilers, having to go through what feels like the majority of the year with an unpleasant, sniffley cold. You could safely say that radiators are essential to our comfort.
Gas: An Eco Friendly Energy Source?
When dealing with such a volatile yet everyday substance as natural gas, it’s important for customers to know that engineers who work in this field can be trusted. Inefficiency with gas systems can have tremendously dangerous results, which could not only be a waste of money, and environmentally perilous, but also result in fatal consequences if there is a serious leakage within a household.
Reducing Your Utility Bills
When it comes to household utility bills, the main question on everyone’s mind is how to keep your home as cost effective as possible; everyone of course would like to be as environmentally friendly as possible, but top of most people’s priority list is making sure that not too much cash is being spent unnecessarily.
On Not Driving
Being “green” is not so difficult when it is how you live and when it is all you know.
Born and raised in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles, I am the eldest of an uneducated and non-English speaking single mother who never learned how to drive, so I grew up without a car.
Although I am college educated, and I speak English, I also do not drive. I have never had a driver's license and at this point, I don't expect I will ever need one. Next year, I turn 50.
