P.M. Greenlist: Freeway-like roads and disconnected rail systems
>> Freeway-like one-way roads vs. smart neighborhood design. L.A. Time's Road Sage Steve Hymon looks at the paradox between Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's mandate to speed up traffic on Pico and Olympic, and the smart features of modern urban planning, which "includes having streets with room for mass transit and generous sidewalks."
>> Connecting rail in the downtown area's a complicated task. Put in your two cents at the Metro Regional Connector Transit Corridor Study public meetings, which start tomorrow.
>> Green your electronic use with eco-advice from Alex Pham of the L.A. Times, who:
- advises unplugging your electronics to save energy,
- looks at some newer, greener gadgets hitting the market,
- identifies eco-labels for electronics, and
- tells you how to safely dispose of the old e-waste.
>> Earlier: Energy Week -- which covered unplugging gadgets and picking out greener electronics among other topics. We also had Recycle Week here -- which covered e-waste, among other things.
>> Ecoenvelopes: Reusable, re-sealable envelopes. Now you and your snail mail pen pal can keep sending the same envelope back and forth. (via Re-Nest)
