Since 2000, Stein has turned his focus to the environment, co-founding the Southern California chapter of the national organization Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2). Stein has worked on many of the new fuel efficiency initiatives for California and recently traveled to the 2007 United Nations climate-change conference in Bali.
