About me
The Green Living Guy, Seth Leitman, is recognized as a green living guru and electric car expert. The Green Living Guy writes about green living, green lighting, the green guru guides, green business and more. Seth's books range from:

Build Your Own Electric Vehicle by Bob Brant and Seth Leitman Build Your Own Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle by Seth Leitman Build Your Own Electric Motorcycle by Carl Vogel Green Lighting by Seth Leitman, Brian Clark Howard and Bill Brinsky Solar Power For Your Home by David Findley Renewable Energies For Your Home by Russel Gehrke Do-it-Yourself Home Energy Audits by David Findley and more green living books to follow.

Seth 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. Seth also 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 Leitman 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, Seth worked for the New York Power Authority (NYPA) where he 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, Seth 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, he even helped them to work with New York City of Transportation to change all the traffic lights from incandescent to light emitting diodes (LED).

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's. Check out all of the books in the Green Guru Guides and Build Your Own Electric Vehicle click here. As the Green Living Guy, Seth also writes, does video, blogging, interviews and reporting for Planet Green.com, The Daily Green, 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.
