The Bicycle Coalition is sponsoring its 8th Annual L.A. River Ride in a couple of weeks.
June 8th is the big day to join a couple thousand people–including honorary bike chairman Ed Begley, Jr. himself–and spend some time exploring the river in our backyard, on two wheels of course.
You can go 10 miles, 50 miles, or 100 miles, or just hang out for the other happenings like bike safety lessons for kids, face painting, crafts, a raffle, healthy snacks, and an international food fair.Â
$15.00 and it starts Sunday, June 8th at 10:00 a.m.
Get the details, register, form a group, or volunteer to help here.

You’ve probably heard about the initiative to plant one million trees in our city. Â
Million Trees LA is a partnership between the City of Los Angeles, its corporate and community partners, and some of the
tree-planting gurus we’ve got in our area like TreePeople, North East Trees, and L.A. Conservation Corps.
And while planting season is mostly over, there are plenty of tree care events throughout June and beyond. After all, those new trees need to be tended until they’ve taken root and are flourishing all on their own. Â So, tree care is just as, if not more important than getting saplings in the ground in the first place.

Please join us for our Non-Toxic Home Workshop tomorrow evening at which Sustainability Coach Deborah will help you cultivate a healthy, non-toxic life, starting in your own home.
The Environmental Protection Agency confirms that indoor air is often more polluted than the air outdoors. And, as many of us spend up to 90% of our time indoors, addressing the air we breathe there is paramount, especially for little ones or people with breathing conditions or allergies.
In her signature supportive, positive, mindful style, Deborah explores indoor air quality and how to clean up the air we breathe inside.  Along with that, she’ll teach participants how to address the most dangerous toxins in their homes and put you on the path to a safe, healthy, healing space for you and your loved ones.
The Non-Toxic Home
Wednesday, May 28th
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
@ All Shades of Green
