- Electric Cars Are For Girls. A site for girls who don’t wanna go all the way (and de-car entirely). (via Treehugger )
- Refrigeration sans electricity! All it takes is 2 earthenware pots, river sand, and a jute bag.
- Local fuel for local communities. MIT engineer Amy Smith talks about how she helped find cost-effective fuels made from local agricultural waste — reaping economic, environmental, and health benefits.
- Why’re fewer teens getting pregnant? Mostly cuz of improved contraceptive use, NOT abstinence. (via Bush v. Choice)
BTW — The latest issue of Yogi Times has a nice article about fair trade: “tall soy latte with a double shot of peace.” Get it free all over LA :)
Speaking of electric cars, I didn’t see you cover the 1st ever Alternative Car and Transporation Expo in Santa Monica.
My friend Scott Miller has a few blogs on BioConversion and BioOutput your readers might be interested in and he covered the alt. auto show.
I was there , too, and so was Ed Begley, of course. It was cool.
Ed Begley announced he has a new show, “Living with Ed,†a humorous and informative look at his home/ life off the grid in Studio City, premiering on HGTV, Jan. 1 right after the Rose Parade.

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t actually make it to the Alt Car Expo :(
However, Melissa of LA Green Living did, and has a full report here :)
