Bike in LA? No problem…
by Waylon Lewis on Oct 23, 2009
(If you have Google Maps on your iPhone). This morning I biked (on green buddy Scott Badenoch’s mountain bike, no less) from Hollywood Hills to Venice Beach for my live @greenopolis interview. It was fun, healthy, sunny—a great way to get to know this vast, lovely, ugly, diverse, rich, poor, magnificently visual city. Biking is [...]

by elephantjournal.com on Aug 15, 2009
Eco-Village is proof that sustainability can survive even in the concrete jungle.

Efficiency and togetherness are more than just ideals in this community. Eco-village inhabitants work (and play) together to shrink their collective carbon footprint, including [...]

D&A Greenmarket: Ecofashion in LA.
by Waylon Lewis on Oct 22, 2008
The article begins with that ubertrite line about how eco-responsible, fair-labor fashion doesn’t have to look like a hemp sack. If I read that tired line one more time, I’m gonna pull on my American Apparel undies, tube socks, vintage (reused) bellbottoms from my local vintage shoppe, fasten my local dead cow hand-tooled cowboy belt [...]

Leaf is Life – Leaf Cuisine: more raw goodness for those lucky LA’ers.
by elephantjournal dotcom on Aug 19, 2008
I have to admit: my first ever and most recent trip to LA was all about getting as much raw food as possible. I only had two days, however, and only one small belly, so I missed out on Cru, Au Lac and Euphoria loves Rawvolution. Just before I flew out, my sister took me to [...]

Los Angeles Plastic Bag Ban to Go into Effect in 2010?
by Lindsey Wolf on Jul 31, 2008
Following San Francisco’s lead on a ban that took effect last November, I had read that L.A.’s City Council just voted to outlaw disposable bags by 2010. L.A. uses more than 2 billion disposable bags every year, of which only 5% of plastic bags are recycled and 21% of paper bags. However I also just read that the ban [...]

Real Food Daily: An Organic Oasis in LA
by Merete Mueller on Jul 31, 2008
Within the first three hours of my first trip to Los Angeles, three stereotypes were confirmed: LA is huge (I drove for hours and hours with no end to the strip malls and freeways in sight). Everyone drives. And there’s a ton of pollution (it was tough to see mountains merely a mile away through the [...]
