If you’re looking for a summer activity this weekend that packs an eco-conscious punch, look no further than Sustainable LA.
As part of the first-ever Downtown Film Festival, it’s the Sunday finale complete with a farmers market, beer and wine garden, green documentary screenings and panel discussions of all things urban and green–from jobs to gardens to slow food.
It’s from noon to 6:00 p.m. August 17th at 4th and Grand–MOCA and California Plaza.
Hope to see you there!

We’ve got Little Star babyslings on sale (27.99). Slinging is probably an ancient way of carrying a baby as it allows parents to do their own thing and carry their little one, hands-free.
By tucking a baby into a sling that’s tied to you, it’s not just good for you as a way to multi-task. Being carried close is good for babies from helping them develop a strong parental bond and sense of security to encouraging dramatically less crying!

All Shades will be offering Home Performance Testing from now on (but especially starting in September when our green building professional, Natalie, gets back from vacation).
If you’re looking for more health, more comfort, and more efficiency, this kind of test may be right for you. Essentially, by using a blower door to pressurize the house and using noninvasive gadgets to peek around in your walls, crawl space, and attic, we can help you determine where you’re losing energy, how much, and how to fix that, all for a few hundred dollars.
For people with allergies or other health concerns, making sure your house is heating and cooling itself well can do a world of good. Plus, you’ll save money as we often let 40% of our AC or heat out the door if our house isn’t up to its fitness snuff.
At the end of the half-day, you’ll get a report of recommendations to help your house perform optimally like replacing or repairing you HVAC system or reconfiguring or upgrading your insulation.
So, if you’d like to make your home run as smoothly, safely, comfortably, and efficiently as possible, give us a ring at the store and we’ll tell you more about Home Performance Testing.
(323) 665 - 7454.
To a happy, healthy, green home!
