Normally, this course is only offered in Santa Monica and a $50 donation is requested from LA residents. Based on the incredible impact that had in our community Councilman Bill Rosendahl awarded them an LADWP grant and there will be 5 more FREE workshops held in LA. Also, for the first time ever, they will offer 20 FREE business greening consults! Our goal – and the reason for our 2010 pilot – is to get these funded by the City of LA on an ongoing basis (as it is in Santa Monica). With rates for water and power climbing, we KNOW that the increases can be offset by the simple tips you learn in these programs.
The first workshop begins tomorrow August 30th (in the Palisades – tell your friends!) and the second begins October 5th in Mar Vista at the SMC Bundy Campus. Pre-registration is required. To propose you business for the LA grant version of the business greening program, contact BORLIDO_SUSY@smc.edu
Each week’s class focuses on a separate aspect of greening your home and life – water, energy, waste, chemicals, transportation and shopping. The classes give you a deeper understanding of the issues and each week you leave with 10 actions that ultimately help you to –
• divert solid waste through recycling
• become water efficient
• eliminate toxic chemicals
• minimize transportation impacts
• reduce energy use
• and learn to make better consumer choices
Please help us spread the word! Email sherri@marvista.org if you would like us to email you flyers. We are so grateful for Bill Rosendahl’s support on this - help us make sure that LA gets a very clear message that this will make a difference.

ReplyDeleteFrom Bev-Sue Powers, Villa Marina Neighborhood, Marina Del Rey
ReplyDeleteI and 2 members of my neighborhood attended the Oct 5th, 2011 workshop series. WOW! What a wealth of information and resources. We are planning a "Greening Villa Marina" visioning and road mapping workshop with all interested neighbors the 1st weekend in Jan, 2012. Many of the initial ideas stemmed from the Sustainable Works workshop series. In fact, we see the workshop series as a key, strategic tool to educate neighbors as new participants join us. We are planning on on-going outreach to recruit a additional neighbors to join us on an on-going basis and hope the free workshops will be offered at least quarterly. We see the workshops as the perfect "orientation" to joining the Green Neighborhood actions. I'm so Grateful to Sherri, Jeannie, Bill Rosendahl, and Sustainable Works for getting the LADWP grant for the rest of us!! Thank You!!
