HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

In this season of gratitude,
"Its not about how much we give but how much love we put into giving."
- Mother Teresa

October 3rd marked California’s first Clean Air Day, as well as National Walk to School Day, which made October an ideal month to recognize the environmental and human need for clean air.  Thank you for doing so by adopting the Everyday Eco-Habit of Going Emissions-LESS and taking the Clean Air Pledge.  Small tweaks to our habits add up to big impacts so I pledged to do as many of my errands as possible locally on bike.  What was your pledge?  

Election Day is upon us and I have a “Once in a Generation” opportunity for all of you Angelenos out there to ensure a lifetime increase of water supply from much safer, cleaner water.  It is called Measure W.  In short, Measure W is a stormwater collection program that targets runoff pollution, the largest source of pollution to our waterways.  It will help capture, clean and REUSE the over 100 billion gallons of wasted stormwater that otherwise hits the pavement, gathers oil and other trash and pollutes our beaches and oceans.  It’s a win-win because it will keep polluted stormwater out of waterways, capture much needed water to supply Southern Californians, and create new parks and other green spaces.    

I have been a water quality lawyer for most of my career, and I am fully supporting Measure W.  I hope you, my Everyday Eco-Habit family, will consider doing the same on the November 6th ballot.
