>> Mayor Villaraigosa wants to make L.A. coal-free by 2020: “Los Angeles will be a coal-free City in 2020. As nation’s largest municipally owned utility, LADWP will deliver 40% renewable power, with the remainder coming from natural gas, nuclear, and large hydroelectric.” But as TriplePundit points out Villaraigosa hasn’t said HOW he’ll make this happen.
>> You can help Villaraigosa: Sign up for green power to help get us off coal.
>> Or make your own solar power. Gauge your solar potential via the L.A. County Solar Map. Plug in your address to get your place’s potential to produce solar power, including roof area suitable for solar, kW potential, electricity savings, carbon savings, etc.
>> South L.A.’s getting a new LEED-certified Recreation and Parks facility with a gym, courtyard, and other amenities.

Thank you! You just made signing up for my utilities so much more worthwhile!
