AM Greenlist: A disposable look made reusable
>> "I am not a paper cup."
Here's a reusable cup that looks like a disposable one. Made of
porcelain with silicone top, the cup will be available late Feb. for
$20. (via ATLA)
>> EPA chief Stephen L. Johnson told a hostile Senate committee that denying California's bid to set tougher car emissions standards "was solely my decision." Sen. Barbara Boxer -- whose staff went through EPA documents that showed Johnson went against EPA staff's recommendations in making his decision -- has already introduced legislation to overturn Johnson's decision.
>> Bureucracy's holding back California solar power plants from getting built. "No application to build a large solar power plant in California has been approved in 18 years, and new projects could face significant delays in the bureaucracy."
>> Park vs. wildlife habitat: "Residents who live around Silver Lake Reservoir will learn Saturday how Los Angeles officials plan to open a six-acre plot called "the Meadow" to the public."
>> Another reason to opt for organic strawberries: Pesticides create smog -- and so much pesticides are used to farm strawberries in Ventura county that smog reduction targets are tough to achieve. The state plans a crackdown.
>> Think the Metro chats with Board Chair Pam O'Connor are a bore? Sean Bonner of blogging.la's with you: "you aren't fooling anyone here and these publicity stunts filled with canned answers and non information aren't helping at all." Earlier: Chat has little new info, a lot of generalized statements.
