>> Scenes from Wilshire Center Earth Day — car-free day. Before Michael Franti came on stage, a woman led people in a yoga-like activity. “Turn your palms up to the ceiling and say ‘to serve’!” she shouted. What ceiling? I thought, but others dutifully turned their palms. “Look at the sky — and say ‘to unite’!”

>> West Third Street’s row of eco-boutiques. West Third Street is officially the one-stop shopping strip for eco-fashions. On Earth Day yesterday, boutiques Romp and Vie threw their opening parties, joining the now 1-year-old Avita Co-op, which also threw a party to celebrate its anniversary.

>> Nau open: Eco-fashion store in the Beverly Center. Eco-fashion-conscious angelenos have already been shopping at Nau’s online store, but now Nau fans can try on their organic cotton or sustainably-harvested merino wool clothes before buying them. The newest Nau boutique opened at the Beverly Center last weekend in all its sleek, techy glory.
