Just added to my reading list are:
Living Like Ed: A Guide to The Eco-Friendly Life by Ed Begley, Jr.

Here's what Amazon.com says about it:

“Filled with sound advice and first-hand experience from someone who has been walking the walk for more than 38 years, Living Like Ed provides a wide array of practical options for anyone who wants to make his life a little-or a lot-greener. Ed Begley is more than a beloved Hollywood figure; he¹s an all-American hero, and Living Like Ed is a comprehensive yet accessible guide to becoming more environmentally savvy that light greens and bright greens alike will find themselves dog-earing for years to come.”

So yeah, that already made it to my shopping cart. I'll run it by Oen when he gets home! : ) I also found this DVD:
Living with Ed: Season 1

So that has made it to the top of my netflix queue.

Here's what netflix has to say about it:
Step into the eco-conscious home of actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. as he walks the walk of the green lifestyle in the first season of his reality show. Ed bakes tofu brownies in his solar oven, makes toast with bicycle power and takes a spin with Jay Leno in a 1909 Baker electric car. All the while, Rachelle, Begley's impossibly patient wife of 13 years, humors her husband while trying to adjust to his sometimes obsessive behavior.

So I'm excited about both of those things. Thanks Carey, for the book recommendation! : )
