When I heard that I was being featured in the Future of Transportation campaign,
it floored me! Yet I stood strong and made it for us!

Electric vehicles are here, and they have great potential to help create a healthy
and sustainable planet. That’s why I’m excited to announce my collaboration with
the LA Times for the Future of [Transportation](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/07/move-over-oil-lithium-is-the-future-of-transportation/)
Campaign.

In the next eight years, more than 50% of the population will be driving an electric
vehicle. This campaign will help you make those changes while encouraging readers
to understand further the [benefits of electric vehicles](https://greenlivingguy.com/2005/11/electric-vehicles-and-their-benefits/)
for their wallets and the environment.

Here’s a sample of my section!

Electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t the future — they’re already here. Six major carmakers—
BYD, Ford, General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo — have [pledged to phase out gas- and diesel-powered vehicles](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/climate/cars-zero-emissions-cop26.html)
by 2035, and several states have [passed laws banning the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/new-york-law-phases-out-most-gas-powered-vehicles-by-2035.html)
by 2030.

Seth Leitman — aka [Green Living Guy](https://greenlivingguy.com/) — thinks the 
only barriers to a transition to renewable energy on a national and global scale
are pretty fundamental ones. “Political will,” he says. “Also, people listening 
to me — I mean that.”

## **Living green**

Leitman, an electric vehicle expert, and president of the Greater Hudson Valley 
Electric Auto Association, has been known as the [Green Living Guy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2009/03/green-living-guy-at-go-green-expo-in-nyc/)
since 2005, when he began his media empire focused on sustainability.

For I realized how international institutions were basically screwing the [environment for energy,” he says](https://greenlivingguy.com/2005/05/global-warming-change-a-small-few-non-believers-say-no/).“
In addition, I believed in [solar and wind](https://greenlivingguy.com/2015/04/falling-solar-wind-energy-costs-are-driving-the-great-transition/)
but knew I needed to do more. Then I became [Green Living Guy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2009/11/how-the-green-living-guy-lost-20-pounds-from-july-october-2009/)
when I was leaving a partnership with an energy company. A buddy of mine suggested
I create a ‘Green Living something’ brand. I said, when working for the New [York Senate and talking green](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/03/green-new-york-a-podcast-discussion-on-living-green/),
some people would say ‘uh oh here comes that guy.’”
