Journey Into Green:
How did greenlivingguy come to be involved in Earth-conscious living?
I worked for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) on marketing and managing alternative-fueled vehicle (AFV) and electric vehicle (EV) programs throughout the State of New York. At NYSERDA, Leitman was the Project Manager for the Clean Fuel Bus Program that funded over $100 million to the incremental cost of alternative fueled vehicle buses. I learned about green buildings and indoor air quality in schools and how it children and asthma rates; having an indirect impact on environmental justice. Then I knew: school buses and the school own energy consumption affect the bottom line, indoor air quality for the students and pollution from power plants. In 2000, I worked for the New York Power Authority (NYPA) where I created the NYPA/TH!NK Clean Commute Program which leased 100 electric vehicles in the New York Metropolitan Area. This program was covered by USA Today, Associated Press, Reuters, New York Times, CNN, Good Morning America, the Today Show, and others. This is the largest electric vehicle station car program worldwide. While at NYPA, I also worked on the donation program for low speed vehicles. The two companies invovled were Global Electric Motor Cars (GEM) and the TH!NK Neighbor (previously from Ford Motor Company across New York State. While at NYPA, I even helped them to work with New York City of Transportation to change all the traffic lights from incandescent to light emitting diodes (LED). LED Traffic Light in London from Wikipedia. I did it to help NYC. Cool. Recently, I was interviewed for Take Part, a web site that offers “in-depth, unbiased information to a diverse audience in a way that lets people learn, form opinions, reach out to others and take actions that have real impact in the world.” Yet I always thought there was more to what I was trying to convey to the end users of the green technologies, energy efficient products or simple things that being green. It was a WAY OF LIVING GREEN AND GREEN LIVING. Now I am Managing Member for a consulting company: ETS Energy Store, LLC to help people, companies and government on how to go green and live greener and provide green living opportunities. I try to help clients ask a third party about their audits, lighting change-outs or whatever they are working on to Go Green, Save Green and Learn To Love Green Living (Saving Cash That Is!!!) To many times people know what green living is but it is so challenging for people to go green since there are so many people professing to be green living gurus. As the Green Living Guy, I also write, do video, blog, interviews and report for The Daily Green, Sustainablog, Greenopia.com, Mother Earth News.com and The Green Living Guy. Now he even hosts a blog talk radio show at The Green Living Guy Show. In addition to all the books I am also published with the Electric Power Research Institute and the US Department of Energy. So, that is why I am considered the Green Living Guy. I'm not perfect. I am just a guy. However, if we can make everyone green gurus then that is some good green living.
