[Lapg] City of L.A. requests input on spending Stimulus funds re: Greening Los Angeles

[Lois Arkin]

Let's make our voices heard:

Just a few areas, that many of you know a lot about:
Affordable/ecological housing (retrofitting for ecovillages, cohousing, 
shared housing, other intentional communities), public transit 
(including e.g., frequent electric shuttles in foothill communities 
connecting residents to local shopping and other public transit), major 
increased bicycle infrastructure, food security, permaculture, 
neighborhood based waste to resource centers, composting toilets/living 
machines and other decentralized water conservation measures, community 
based renewable energy strategies, neighborhood sustainable living 
groups, incentive funds to neighborhood councils and/or schools and/or 
colleges for sponsoring green demonstrations (e.g., ecovillage retrofits 
in local neighborhoods), bicycle infrastructure, public service 
announcements targeting cultural change (rather than just "switching"), 
low interest community loan funds for neighborhood greening activities 
perhaps controlled by Neighborhood Councils with non-council oversight 
committees, etc, etc.

Although the request is specifically about Energy Efficiency and 
Conservation, I believe all of the above is connected, or you can make 
it so...
