>> Hike “the Lush Green Hills of Cheeseboro & Palo Comado Canyons” — or if you’re feeling lazy, hike vicariously by clicking through the colorful photos of the canyons by Zach Behrens at LAist.

>> Take a tour of L.A.’s eco-blights on The Urban Ocean Cruise and see “corroded metal shipping containers, belching smokestacks, trash-strewn waterways and oil islands.” The eco-educational cruises — run by the Aquarium of the Pacific and Harbor Breeze Cruises — gets a profile in the L.A. Times. Sign up for a cruise at the Aquarium of the Pacific’s website. Cost: $29.95 for adults, $20 for children.

>> Visit the California Science Center to see a kelp forest, home to more than 1,500 fish and other marine animals — among other fun things. Eco-fashionistas should stop by the gift shop to see Sundrop Jewelry, made by harnessing solar power and gravity.
