I’ve lived a slower and less expensive life going off the grid, and I’m happier because of it.
If you’re not buying recycled products, you’re not really recycling.
I’m not a wealthy person because I was never a star. I was a working actor and a supporting actor.

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.
I ride my bike for transportation a great deal – occasionally I ride it for fun. But I also have a generator bike that’s hooked up to my solar battery pack, so if I ride 15 minutes hard on my bike, that’s enough energy to toast toast, or power my computer.
