A.M. Greenlist: Go green by being neighborly

Yes! magazine's put together an action-oriented Climate Solutions issue! (via grist) Some of the highlights:

>> How to get carbon-free in 10 years. Yes! magazine has an illustrated year-by-year guide.

>> 13 best energy ideas for climate solutions. Nuclear and coal power -- as well as food-based biofuels -- get a thumbs down.

>> Deep Economy author Bill McKibben points to building local communities as an eco-friendly act: "The kind of extreme independence that derived from cheap fossil fuel—the fact that we need our neighbors for nothing at all—can’t last. Either we build real community, of the kind that lets us embrace mass transit and local food and co-housing and you name it, or we will go down clinging to the wreckage of our privatized society."

>> Transit conundrums. Rode sage Steve Hymon reports:

>> The 405's getting a northbound carpool lane -- which won't actually fix traffic woes: "The problem, in a nutshell, is that any plan to widen the 405 would require Caltrans to acquire and tear down homes."

>> The Allen Street Gold Line station's bike rack's filled up and has been waiting for a second rack for 2 years. The problem: "there isn't any more room on the sidewalk because of the Americans with Disabilities Act."

>> Green Business Networking happens tomorrow night at the Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica.
