Greenlist: Happy meetings
>> Pico meets enthusiastic walking Angelenos. 70+ people joined, and 40+ completed, the 16-mile walk down the length of Pico on Saturday. "Victory jerk chicken enchiladas (not to mention booze purchased on the way at the Santa Monica Trader Joe's) was consumed at Cha Cha Chicken, near the finish line." I missed it -- I've only walked the section of Pico within the city of Santa Monica....
>> Polluters meet $2,000 de-smogging incentive. South Coast Air Quality Management District uses sensors to find gross polluters, then sends letters to the owners offering them $500 to help with repairs, or $1,000 to scrap the vehicle. Low-income motorists can get $2,000. So far, about 10% of people sent letters are responding.
>> Dark, spiritual music meets radical ecology. "Delve far enough into heavy metal, and you'll find environmentalists," says Erik Davis in Slate.
