A.M. Greenlist: Putting climate change in textbooks
>> Cali public school science textbooks must cover climate change if a bill recently approved by the state senate gets passed. The bill would also require that science teachers put warming in their curricula. (via grist)
>> One-way proposal for Pico and Olympic revamped. Villaraigosa's plan would forbid parking on all but a few stretches of Pico and Olympic during rush hour beginning March 8, re-time traffic signals to favor faster eastbound traffic on Pico and westbound traffic on Olympic by April 28, and re-stripe Pico to have four lanes going east and two going west, and Olympic to have four lanes going west and two going east in six months to a year.
>> Old gas guzzlers are getting exported to Mexico, creating environmental problems. "There's no glass window shielding the border," said Alma Leticia Figueroa Jimenez, the former head of ecology for Ciudad Juarez. "The U.S. sends us junk, and Mexico sends back pollution."
>> Hormones and hormone-altering chemicals get flushed into coastal ocean waters, affecting the hormone levels of fish, say Southern California toxicology researchers.
>> America's 50 greenest cities, according to Popular Science. Fifteen California cities make the list. L.A.'s not on there, but Pasadena and Irvine are. (via GreenDaily)
>> Enviro-site Grist has also added a job board. Earlier: Green job hunt.
