Chris Slotten, the Environmental Maniac, has always been "one of those". In school he was a "mentally gifted minor". At U.C. Irvine in 1972, he built a car that met 1986 air pollution requirements because "it couldn't be done". He created the best multi-family recycling program in California in 1994 saving 50,000 trees. In 2007 he's reduced the air conditioning costs on his house by 50% saving the energy equivalent of four barrels of oil.
