I'm a strong proponent of green tech for anyone who can afford it, having spent the last 40 years working toward achieving a smaller and smaller eco-impact for myself.

I bought my first electric car in 1970. Its top speed was 15 mph and it had just a 15 mile range - it was essentially a golf cart with a windshield wiper and a horn.

When we destroy something crated by man we call it vandalism but when we destroy something by nature we call it progress.

I've lived a slower and less expensive life going off the grid, and I'm happier because of it.

We run around so much - with the best intentions: I want to save the rain forest. I've gotta clean up the oceans. I've gotta save the dolphins. All worthy efforts, but if you're not centered and you don't have the serenity in your life you need to accomplish that task, you're not going to do a very good job.

My favorite form of transportation is walking. I live in a neighborhood where you can walk to restaurants, banks, and shops.

The environmental crisis is all a result of rushing.
