1. He saved the forests, and kept that old recliner until the legs fall off.
2. He encouraged vegetarianism by demonstrating a low tolerance for meat-heads.
3. Archie protected an endangered species, and married a dingbat.
4. Energy Conservation Tip #1: Let someone else bring you your beer and slippers.
5. Energy Conservation Tip #2: Anytime a bulb lights up in your head, for crying out loud, put that thing out.
6. Archie was very concerned about the population explosion among homeless pets: ”I was readin’ an article about the animal population. There’s millions of pets explodin’.”
7. As a corrective measure to help with reducing the number of homeless pets, Archie was a strong proponent of International Spade The Cat Week.
8. Not to mention his understanding of geography, geology and seismology:
   Archie: California is the home of where is gonna occur the world’s worst catas-trophy, sittin’ on a shelf out there. There’s three states on that shelf there: California, Oregon and Missouri. The day of the biggest earthquake, those three states are gonna be shoved right off o’ that shelf there. They call that the “Continental Divide.
