- Google Transit makes de-car-ing easier than ever in 5 more cities: Eugene, Honolulu, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Tampa. Hoping LA transit gets googlified soon! (via Lifehacker).
- A stylin’ bike hanger: Cycloc lets you hang and lock your bike to a wall prettily.
- New Yorkers can achieve their own Personal Kyoto by tracking residential or commercial electric usage automatically. (via kottke.org)
- The Permablitz: The next hot party theme for environmentalists? . It’s “a permaculture-inspired backyard makeover where people come together to share knowledge and skills about organic food production in urban gardens while building community and having fun”
Hey, what’s with the bike hanger link? Thanks anyway.

Speaking of permablitzing, join the City Repair Los Angeles list to find out about work parties and permaculture related activities going on in our fair city.

Hey Trufula! I just signed up for the city repair list. And the permaculture course sounds awesome — Glad to see that SustainableLA’s one of the org’s involved. In fact, SustainableLA’s started a Biomimicry for Designers course — and featuring Larry one of the days:
October 10: Biomimetic Design in Interior Spaces and Landscapes. Speaker: Larry Santoyo, Permaculture Designer and Educator.
Great to see so much fun stuff going on –
