Culver City Program Aims to Educate Community About Pollution, Recycling

Reusing resources and safely disposing of household waste are among the topics explored in multimedia presentations offered by the Culver City Public Works Department.

The city Public Works Department has launched an environmental education program to teach residents, businesses and students about the impact of pollution and waste on Culver City.

Multimedia presentations on topics that include reusing natural resources, mitigating storm runoff and preventing environmental damage from household products are available from the department's Environmental Programs and Operations Division (EPO).

Each presentation runs for about 30 minutes and aims to increase the community's awareness about environmental issues facing Culver City and other municipalities. Viewers can also learn how to switch to more environmentally-sustainable practices at home and work.

The EPO staff will conduct the presentations along with consultants paid through a CalRecycle Used Oil block grant.

"By working together, we can help Culver City be a greener place for everyone to enjoy," the city said in a statement. 

For more information or to schedule a presentation, call 310-253-6411.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Maybe more to the point, where does the methane (way more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas)Read More release go from the fracking process, where do the "secret"and other cancer causing chemicals go, and who pays for clean-up costs, increased healthcare costs of residents nearby, possible increased earthquake damage, etc. and where does this oil go (we can't use it--too dirty--so probably China)?

As I understand it, fracking wells "dry up" fairly quickly, which is why pressure to keepRead More drilling so urgent. Where do the jobs go after a year or so? Just a thought....

Steve Rose writes "I'm a responsible car driver and I look for the same from bike riders."Read More However I challenge him to spend his next long drive staying at exactly the posted speed limit. I tried this once driving from the Long Beach Airport to Irvine. And I was astounded at how slow this felt. I also noticed that in all contexts (Freeway, Arterial, and local road) I was the only one doing so. I didn't pass or pace a single other car for the full 30 minutes. So somehow I doubt that although he may be "responsible" driving he is a fully law-abiding driver.

(....continued) Mr. Rose, your heart might have been in the right place, but you asked the wrongRead More questions and alienated bike riders in the process. More important, the approach was simply confrontational and not reflective of the changing perspective (read: progress) of the broader city on bicycle riding nor of the amazing new life blood of the those who are revitalizing the very Culver City you love and have worked so very hard for. Again, I urge you to apologize (not clarify) and perhaps come speak to some bike commuters/riders and join us in making Culver City's road's, less territorial and safer...
