Begley Vs. Nye: Who's Greener?
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 08. 7.07



Keeping up with the Joneses takes on a whole new echelon of meaning when you're Ed Begley Jr. and your neighbor happens to be Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Nye, who moved onto the Living with Ed star's street a year ago, is "a very nice fellow who started this competition, I suppose, to see who could have the lowest carbon footprint," Begley tells ABC News.

"Without Ed down the street pushing all of us to live a more environmentally responsible lifestyle, I wouldn't be so motivated to crush him like a bug," says Nye, who has upped the ante in this backyard battle by installing his own state-of-the-art solar-power system.

While Nye's racing to catch up by outlining an organic garden—the Begleys have been eating out of theirs for years—Nye says that his single status presents a key advantage when it comes to energy conservation.
