Metro has a plan to make it easier to get around. The natural barrier created by the Santa Monica Mountains makes traveling between the Valley and the Westside complex and challenging – and will require innovation and multiple solutions. Metro is working to evaluate alternatives for a high-quality, reliable transit service option connecting the San Fernando Valley and the Westside.
Over 100 billion clothing items are created each year. More than 87% of these items eventually end up in landfills or are burned. Fast fashion companies churn out new products constantly at low prices, using underpaid/exploited labor and cheap materials. The fashion industry is estimated to produce up to 10% of global carbon emissions.
To address these issues, new companies are at the forefront of the movement to re-use, repair, re-dye and/or recycle clothing. People want new clothes. Instead of buying new clothes, they can be repaired, re-dyed and/or re-designed to get new looks. In addition, these companies are also supporting clothing swaps to help people get new clothes by trading with others.

Sustainability Saturday! Did you know: a family of barn owls (4) can eat up to 1000 rodents a year. Many of these rats may have ingested toxins trough rodenticides, putting the owls at risk!
Rodenticides are harmful to all living animals. The rat that ingests rodenticide will weaken and become easy prey for owls and hawks who will then be poisoned.
Rodenticides have been found in substantial amounts in large prey including bobcats and mountain lions. Rodenticides often lead to mange which can kill large predators.
By using rodenticides we are harming those animals we know and love, and even putting our pets at risk.
Encourage your neighbors and friends
to avoid use of pesticides.
