Green LA Victory
Monday, 18 January 2010
With all of this rain coming down, wouldn't be great if we could do something more productive with all of this water instead of creating massive amounts of pollution run-off that goes straight into the ocean?
I'm pleased to report that a major step in moving Los Angeles towards this direction of a smarter water and land-use policy happened recently thanks in large part to the Green LA Coalition, one of my recent clients. Green LA played a key role in moblizing support for the Low Impact Development Ordinanance, which the Board of Public Works in the City of Los Angeles approved last Friday. I joined the long line of supporters and voiced my support for this ordinance in front of the Board. For a good summary about the meeting and why this is important for Los Angeles, check out Joe Linton's Creek Freak blog posting.
I'm hopeful that the City Council will ultimately approve this policy and look foward to being one of many voices in support of this.

Thanks Joe for your comment - I'm a huge fan of our local rivers, creeks and streams and am excited that we're in the process of restoring them here in LA.

thanks for supporting this and for speaking out and for the link... one minor note on your language: "straight to the ocean" ... don't forget that there's important systems and habitats on the way to the oceans: our rivers, creeks, streams...
