Just found out about a rather clunky yet quite engrossing new app from the AQMD called FIND: Facility INformation Detail.

Backing up: AQMD’s the South Coast Air Quality Management District — the air pollution control agency for all of Orange County and urban portions of LA, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

And this new app, FIND, lets you check out public info about facilities that’re required to have a permit to operate equipment that releases pollutants into the air. Basicaly, this app lets you get info on a company’s emissions and its compliance history. A full FAQ about FIND’s here.

In any case, you can use FIND to investigate a biz you’re curious about; the database is searchable by zip, street, city, etc. etc.

The first place I looked up was World Cafe, where I bike to for happy hour a lil more often than I should. This is where I recommended Summer have her bday party :)

I was glad to find out this yum restaurant / bar in good standing, with no notices of enviro violations :)

How does your fave bar fare?
