Seth Leitman, The Green Living Guy, sits down with Green.org to share three easy ways to live more sustainably.
Seth, thanks for being here. Tell us a little bit about you and your background:
My name is Seth Leitman, the Green Living Guy. I am a Father and Husband to my wife since 1997. As well, I am an Electric Car Expert and a real Green Living Guru.
I worked for the State of NY to becoming a green expert on TV too! From electric cars to green schools to LED green lighting. In addition, my experience since 1993 in projects like solar and wind to indoor air quality and also working on alternative fueled vehicles. I also developed the Green Guru Guides series of books in 2010 with TAB DIY McGraw-Hill.
These green living expert guides focus on making Eco-tech work for you. The Green Guru Guides are globally available due to his love for education. So I do social media consulting for businesses and am a prolific blogger. Over 7,000 posts. As well, I have worked with many publicly traded companies and small businesses too plus government.
What is a fun fact about you?
I’ve met a lot of famous people at historic times. Like Ruth Bader Ginsberg right before she was appointed a Justice. I was interning for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the US Senate and was the only religious Jewish person on the staff. So I greeted her. Yes I have met Elon. Why Panasonic USA and NYC Media brought me on. NYC Media to do four TV segments. Panasonic USA to help launch their alliance with Tesla Motors.
Why do you think climate change and sustainability is such an important topic today?
We are seeing the effects of climate change real time. Every day. So we must include sustainable actions into everything we do.
What can the average person do to make a difference?
I always say three to four things. You can insulate your attic, eat a little more organic than before, buy LED bulbs for your house and always consider solar plus energy storage.
