It is an incomplete idea, but I do not think that I am looking for a million new ideas about how we can build community. Rather I want to shine a spotlight on one million acts of community building. Much will be repeated, some will be mundane, and other will not necessarily be what I would call community building but it will all add to an interesting discussion. Maybe it will be just a few good ideas, but ideas that are implemented in Charlottesville and Culver City, and copied in Honoka`a, and perfected in Roxbury-North Dorcester and thousands of other places. I do not know, but it is off to a very interesting start. Thank you for helping me launch this effort. I am making this up as I go.

I had a large old computer monitor and CPU unit to dispose of. I stopped at Amoeba in Hollywood, but there "Big Green Box" is really a very small e-waste recyecling box only accepted cell phones & batteries. For any computer parts that worked, they told me to take them to Goodwill on Vine St. I had a pair of computer speakers that worked, so I left them at Goodwill. But that still left my huge old computer monitor and CPU unit which I took to California Recylcling which took them both for free. And I dropped them off on a Wednesday during working hours. Yes, the city of LA needs to have its hazardous waste collection sites have hours during the week and also have more sites. Thanks for continuing to post about this issue.
