Latest from Emerald City, my enviro-blog at LAtimes.com

>> Flore Vegan Cuisine: Tasty organic wraps. Flore Vegan Cuisine’s been on my list of restaurants to try for a long while. Vegan, organic, and — according to other people’s blog reviews — very yummy. The one problem: Flore’s all the way in Silver Lake — which is practically a different country from Santa Monica, where I live.

>> Q&A: Green bins and food scraps. Yes, you can put food scraps in the green bins — as long as they come from fruits, veggies, and grains. Don’t put any food scraps that contain animal products, even if it’s just milk, eggs, or cheese. Your green bin’s vegan!

>> Missy Higgins: Silver Lake’s new environmentalist. We have no shortage of pop stars that get famous then start going in and out of rehab. But after winning a bunch of awards for her music, 23-year-old singer-songwriter Missy Higgins started — composting.

>> Green Garlic : The New Kid At the Market. Katie Ricketts writes: “Green garlic is as hip to LA restaurants and chefs as neon-colored t-shirts and slap-stick bracelets are to LA fashionistas.”

>> Cyclists Are Your Friends!. Writes Alex Thompson: “Cyclists do not want to be your enemy. We’re just fun people who happen to ride bikes to get around.”

And a couple linky posts:

>> A.M. Greenlist: Less action, more delays
