This is one of the best visions for the future I have ever seen an organization create. It’s detailed and inspiring. I commend you on this and hope to use it as a example for other organizations to follow. Indeed, we need far articulation of a clear vision in our work for change.

Comment on How can green streets and complete streets help our communities? by Miss Havisham's Tea Party

HaHaHI there! What a great website and blog. I found you through a link on Laura Barlow’s Green Civitas blog.

How can the ordinary citizen without an attorney, convince the Pasadena City Council to not dump sediment on a water resteration basin in Hahamongna? How can they be moved and enlightened to the best and most responsible course of action?

Among the most bitter pill for the city to swallow is the inevitable purchase of the land on the northeastern rim of Hahamongna. The Altadena neighborhood of west of Windsor, which of course, should have been purchased long ago when the toxic discharge from JPL was discovered in the surface water…that later polluted the ground water in that neighborhood.

It’s never too late to do the right thing, Pasadena!

I am extremely happy to say that in deed this is a GREAT PROJECT. I actually live on this beautiful renewed street. I have been living here for about 23 years and a half and I would’ve never imagined living on such a beautiful street. BIG difference, seeing my street get transformed has been awesome. All these georgeous plants have highlighted the beauty of nature and color. Come enjoy the beautiful landscapes and tons of humming birds.

[...] > The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has a new video (above) 0n Stormwater Runoff 101, featuring shots of the Elmer Avenue project profiled here earlier. The shots of the trash boom on Ballona Creek are pretty scary! Overall it’s an excellent video, though I wish they didn’t call storm drains “sewers.” (Thanks to In the Watershed) [...]

Comment on Turning Yards Into Rain Gardens by Charlie

It’s not even just the new normal – it’s the old normal too, as far as climate goes, just with more people using water for more silly things.

Australia knows it is largely arid or semi-arid. From what I see in peoples’ yards, Los Angeles thinks it is a rain forest.
