ATLA reader is interested in finding others out there interested in discussing green living: "Are there any AT meetings or groups in L.A. to discuss Green Living and/or getting to know people of the same mind?"
Jackie, we currently don't have any AT green events scheduled yet, but we think it's a great idea. Pardon the pun, but you've planted a seed. In the meantime, there are some local resources like the Silver Lake store All Shades of Green, who plan green information events. They're scheduled for a lecture about permaculture this coming July 13th. Details after the jump.
We also recommend attending the LADWP composting events, becoming active in a community garden, and check out the LA Eco-Village. How many of you out there would be interested in an AT Los Angeles Green meet up in the future?
