Jesse Embraces Green? Good, for everyone!
Maybe it’s because we’re (Warden that is) is getting older OR we’re just becoming more aware of the impact we as humans are having on the environment; due to media coverage and/or the changing climate or landscape. Guilty Customs has been looking at what our company does that adversely affects the environment….(ie, disposing of oil, used parts, paint, etc). It isn’t easy to be honest to change old habits, but it’s worth it to our future generations. While browsing the news recently it was good to see a leading builder, Jesse James, willing to take a public stand and even open himself up to possible “jabs” from those that either don’t care about our quality of life, or their children’s/grandchildren’s future. Good for you Jesse! Here is the story as told by Mlive.com
Custom motorcycle builder and television producer Jesse James showed his green side Wednesday, wondering aloud if he’s turned soft or if global warming is really something to be concerned about. “We all want to go faster and have cooler, neater stuff, so we all have to pay our dues,” the owner of West Coast Choppers told AutoWeek’s annual design forum awards dinner at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. “That’s just me trying to find some balance,” he said. “I want my kid to be able to drive my ‘cuda. So that’s my preachy speech.” James promoted recycling during a loose riff on environmental stewardship for gearheads, later laying out his plans to set a land speed record for a hydrogen gas-fueled car, “Green Scream,” this spring.
Former vice president and prominent environmentalist Al Gore might still be “a dork,” James told an applauding crowd of several hundred, but “I don’t want to go to an electric Formula One race.”
