The Converging Storms Action Network presents the The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil in Pasadena on Saturday, January 17th, 7:00 PM.
Climate change and peak oil challenge us to to change how we live in ways that are hard to imagine. How will we respond, and what systems are possible to help us adapt to radically changing conditions? One powerful model we can learn from is Cuba.

Thousands of articles appeared within hours of the July 28th Chino Hills quake. Hundreds of those articles cited the quake's proximity to the San Onofre Nuclear Plant. Hundreds also cited the loss of cell phone availability. Had the quake resulted in damage to the nuclear facility emergency planning would have been seriously hampered.

On July 2, Angelenos overcame the City-planned divides between rich and poor, cultural differences, and even broke through language barriers in the fight to restore the South Central Farm. When the developer proposed a diesel-spewing warehouse distribution center for the site, Farmers and Farm supporters threw a wrench in the cogs of City Hall and won a round in the fight to force Horowitz to do an Environmental Impact Report: they forced a twenty-one day delay for more public comments, and gained a glimmer of hope to restore the Farm. The fight between the people and developers' grip on City Hall could be decided by this Wednesday, July 23, 2008, the new deadline for public comments and the second hearing, a week or two later on the tenth floor of City Hall, in front of a small advisory board.

As a result of the July 2 hearing, there is a 21 day extension (till July 23rd, 2008) on comments that can be submitted to the Advisory Agency of the Planning Commission. They will render a decision in 5-6 weeks.
Please consider what YOU can commit to doing to help this effort. Then email the SCFs (southcentralfarmers@southcentralfarmers.com) and let others know.

First it was a trash incinerator, and the community fought it!
Now, it's a 10 acre low-wage diesel-soot 24 hour polluting warehouse and we must fight it!
Construction of a warehouse facility and distribution center with approximately 643,000 square feet of warehouse and ancillary support space in a 46-foot high, two-story structure on a 10.04 acres site (437,196 square feet after dedication) in the M2-2 Zone. The project includes subterranean parking of approximately 114,399 square feet for 306 cars. Parking for another 39 cars would be provided at grade level for a total of 345 parking spaces.
"Economic inequality has been and remains deeply ingrained in Los Angeles.2 The disparity in income between rich and poor continues to widen with a dramatic increase in low-wage workers and the steady rise in the poverty rate. Not surprisingly, economic inequities coincide with racial and ethnic divisions, leaving African Americans and Latinos disproportionately over represented at the bottom of the economic ladder. Therefore, while many residents bask in the well celebrated Los Angeles charms, others, the poor of Los Angeles, survive in impoverished inner-urban neighborhoods, the very same neighborhoods that exploded into violence on April 29, 1992." -- Paul Ong, "Poverty and Employment Issues in the Inner Urban Core"
We need your help!
You can support the struggle to stop the warehouse by doing at least one of the following things.
1.
Becoming a "Supporting Member" of the South Central Farmers Health and Education Fund so we can write a letter to the Planning Department from an organization with members.
I want to become a "Supporting Member"
2.

June 21, 2008, @ 1:00 pm at 10887 Lindbrook Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90024

Laemmle's Sunset 5 West Hollywood, CA - April 18th
This film is about water, the most amazing yet least studied substance. From times immemorial, scientists, philosophers and theologians tried to understand its explicit and implicit properties, which are phenomenal, beyond the common physical laws of nature.
Witness recent, breathtaking discoveries by researchers worldwide from Russia, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Israel, the USA, Britain, Austria, Japan, Argentina, China and Tibet.
The arguments expound upon unexpected and challenging assumptions enlightening many years of research to open humankind to new horizons, such as the applications of structured water in agriculture, or the use of water in treatment for the most serious diseases and more.
The Geography of the film spans the globe. The implications go beyond the solar system, suggesting that water has the ability to convey messages faster than light, perhaps linking water with the absolute. Water is so unique, and so profound, its miraculous properties are still awaiting to be discovered.

An organization from Western North Carolina, Appalachian Voices, will be touring the West coast from Oct. 26th- Nov 11th educating communities about an extreme form of strip mining called Mountain Top Removal (MTR). In this form of mining the tops of mountains are literally blown off with explosives in order for coal to be extracted from the mountains core. As appalling as this sounds, it is a regular practice by the coal companies throughout the Appalachian States. Once this is done the biodiverse ecosystems that thrived in the mountain forests can never regenerate. The remaining sludge from the explosions is also routinely dumped into the valleys, contaminating waterways. Local communities suffer tremendously from constant blasting, increased flooding, floating coal dust and resulting illness, among other things. It is critical that the world know the severity of this injustice. It is not only an environmental disaster, but it is also killing beautiful mountain cultures. If you know of anywhere in your community that would welcome us in speaking or other potential media outlets please let me know. You can get back to me via e mail or feel free to call me anytime! Your help would be greatly appreciated by the land, people and culture of Appalachia.
Peace and Blessings,
Anna Dow

WSJ's Douglas Belkin wrote a fascinating piece on the Northwest Passage. Although I post this from balmy Burbank, I can almost feel the cold of old as folks like John Cabot and others tried to traverse the 3,200-mile formerly inhospitable passge.

Heal the Bay’s annual report card on the polluted-water beaches in California is out and LA is home to 7 of the 10 most polluted beaches in the state. Long Beach won the booby prize for having the most polluted beach in the state of California.
How is this allowed to continue year after year? You don’t have to be an environmentalist to get worked up about this--- at some point it’s going to become an economic issue so even if hugging trees isn’t your thing, you have to get pissed off about the potential for this to seriously ding Los Angeles’s reputation as a tourist destination.

What do you get when you cross animal rights activists with a powerhouse law firm that has a reputation for playing hardball with anyone who stands in the way of one of its Fortune 500 clients? Until today, I would have said the answer was “a no-holds-barred, bare-knuckled fight to the death”… but then I read the press release for next week’s Town Hall-Los Angeles event.

Great event for those who want to help the environment:
The 4th Annual Alternative Building Materials & Design Expo (AltBuild) returns this year for two days. It's the largest and most cohesive green-building Expo in Southern California, presented by the City of Santa Monica.
It will take place on May 18-19 at Santa Monica Air Center (Barker Hangar) in Santa Monica, CA. The show is FREE to the public, and features hands-on workshops and key educational speakers and noted exhibitors within the “Green” community. With over 140 exhibitors, the Expo has become a much-anticipated event that brings together the general public and members of the building community, including architects, designers, retail buyers, government representatives – all with the uniform motivation to learn about and promote green building technologies and practices. The show historically attracts attendees from across CA and the Western region, and also from across the U.S.

As Antonio’s much ballyhooed “Million Trees LA” program continues to creep along, LA’s smaller neighbor to the northeast, Pasadena, continues to rack up awards for its “urban forestry.”
While LA and Pasadena have both been designated by the National Arbor Day Foundation as “Tree City USA,” a fairly easy designation to achieve, Pasadena was just one of 19 cities in California to win the prestigious “Tree City USA Growth Award, an honor it has received for six consecutive years.
The Pasadena Public Works Department cares for more than 85,000 trees within its city limits (60,000 on streets and 25,000in city parks. In 2006, it added six acres of oak woodland to the city’s protected open space.
