Emerald City: From Recess to recycling

Latest from Emerald City, my enviro-blog at LAtimes.com

>> Recess: Get a greener manicure. For a mani-pedi with an eco touch, drop by Recess, a new L.A. salon with an eco-chic feel. Here you can soak your feet in a scented bath, dry them on bamboo towels, then add a massage with organic essential oils followed by a moisturizing treatment with paraben-free lotions.

>> Jamming with Slow Food L.A. on Saturday. Twenty-five jammers and canners will gather over coffee and tea, each bringing to the table at least four 1-pint containers of canned or frozen jam, jelly, preserves or chutney — along with a small tasting sample and a copy of the recipe to swap with other members.

>> Bikes in the city: Cycle safe with C.I.C.L.E.. If you’re still kind of scared about biking the traffic-clogged streets of L.A. — take an urban biking class with C.I.C.L.E. to ease yourself into the cycling culture.

>> Q&A: Recycling at Yorba Linda apartments. Greg asks: Do you have any sources on recycling in Orange County? Management says that the trash stream gets recycled separately, but I’m way skeptical.

And a few linky posts:
