>> Want to see wildflowers? Starting March 5, you can call the California Wildflower Hotline 24/7 at 818.768.3533 to find the best spots to see wildflowers in Southern and Central California. Callers will get a message — narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Joe Spano (Apollo 13, NYPD Blue) — updated every Thursday evening until the end of May with info on more than 90 wildflower sites.
>> Want to go off the grid? Your neighbors are. The L.A. Times profiles Californians who are using wind turbines, geothermal power, and solar hot water to power their homes: “Turning one’s home into a clean mini-power plant is getting cheaper and easier all the time.”
>> Want the oil industry to pay more taxes? Some good news: “Councilmember Janice Hahn in a recently submitted motion that seeks to tax drillers within city limits.” Yes, we really do have many active oil rigs in our city.
