4/25/2011 Earthday a success!
Thousands of Angelenos came out to support Earthday at the Los Angeles staple center's L.A. Live complex. It was great. with performers, comedians and other vendors exhibiting their earth sustaining wares. A great product that may be out this year is the one way bike rentals by BIKENATION. They plan to place bikes with large baskets on them that can be rented and returned at several stations around the downtown los angeles area. You can rent it for the day. Use it to move about 3 to 4 cubic feet of "stuff" then drop the bike off at the nearest station. Look forward to seeing it in action. Although I like the idea, I have two bikes already. I parked my car about 3 miles from the staple center then biked in. Anytime I go to downtown Los Angeles I do the same. But its still a great idea.
EARTHDAY 2011: FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2011 To celebrate Earth day, we will be at the Los angeles staple center L.A. Live complex at Figuroa and the 10 freeway giving away Klips lacelocs to encourage people to walk more. Be there for your share! AND:
PLANT A GARDEN FOR FRESH VEGETABLES, FRESH AIR, AND FRESH ACTIVITY!
Hope to see you there.

New Rule Limits Sales of Homemade Baked Goods in Schools
As the
New York Times reports, New York City’s public schools have adopted a new rule which allows PTAs to hold fundraisers that include homemade baked goods only “once a month or weekdays after 6pm.”
PTAs and other school organizations can still hold fundraisers at other times, but they cannot sell homemade baked goods at these fundraisers. Instead, they may sell
fresh fruits and vegetables or items selected from a list of 27 packaged foods that meet the New York City health department’s standards for calories, fat, and sodium
