Greenlist: Solutions in waiting

>> How to fight childhood obesity: Fix the farm bill, taking subsidies away from corn and soybeans that are turned into cheap, unhealthful processed foods fed to kids in school lunches. Call your senators. (earlier: Demand school lunches, minus childhood obesity)

>> How to deal with the driest year on record: Reuse recycled water, instead of dumping it into the L.A. River. "Although recycled water can be used for irrigation and to replenish underground aquifers, there are no pipes to transport it to far-off parks and golf courses. The city uses the recycled water for only 1% of its irrigation needs." (earlier: Water, conservation and tattletales)

>> How to wash a window the super-eco way. You'll need a bucket of water, an old rag, newspapers and some vinegar.
