Clean the Los Angeles Bay

riding a cab

Submitted by silent operator on November 6, 2007 - 1:53am

I used to ride a taxi cab wherever I go. Its convinient and comfortable. However, it contributes to pollutants in the air. My resolve is, walk or use public transport whenever possible ( if weather is ok). It was hard at first, its hot and humid. So I adjusted the time that I would need to leave and move around. (between 5-7 in the evening). It was cooler and still early, people are still on the streets. you get to see your environment as it really is. Walking around gives me more ideas for projects to make things here better.

Pet bottles

I realized that I was always buying beverages in pet bottles. So I decided to bring my own water. I fill a third of my drinking bottle and put it inside the freezer overnight. Before I leave in the morning, I fill it with water. I lessened my pet bottle waste and sugar/calorie intake. I lost 3 lbs. in almost 2 weeks! I also saved money. Everything is just great!

Finding Solutions to clean the bay

Submitted by Leila Conners on October 17, 2007 - 9:36am

Welcome all to the effort to help get the Los Angeles Bay clean and free of pollution. We will connect with Heal the Bay, a group who has long worked to that end and who does the Beach Report Card. http://www.healthebay.org

I am interested in exploring how water machines will help us here in Los Angeles. For more on water machines, see: http://www.toddecological.com/ecomachines.html
John Todd is the pioneer of these and if we have these in our neighborhoods and even in our homes, we could greatly reduce pollution that goes into the sewers in the first place.

More soon, and please post any ideas.

Thanks!

Join me in working out a solution to free the Los Angeles bay from pollution. We will reach out to Heal the Bay and other organizations to see how we can help. I'd like to have a bay where there are no "f" readings of pollution. Even after a rainstorm!

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
