Ed Begley Jr: Green for 37 years and counting

Lots of celebrities are going green lately because it's the cool thing to do, but there are some who have been practicing eco-friendly lifestyles for decades. Ed Begley Jr, star of "Living with Ed" on HGTV, is one such celebrity. He's been an environmentalist since the 1970s, and he means business. He's a vegetarian who drives an electric vehicle, lives in a solar powered home, and even has a fence made of recycled milk jugs.

He recently gave Natural Health magazine an interview and it's an interesting read. He apparently got his start through the combination of his father's influence (growing up during the Depression era) and an inherent love for nature. He says he still remembers the first Earth day in 1970 and calls it the "catalyst" that helped him really get started.

What first got you started on being green?
