3 Major Green County Ordinances to be Voted On
The County Board of Supervisors are set to vote tomorrow on three progressive green ordinances tomorrow that would affect unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, some of which that are the most undeveloped (look northward to the Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley areas). The ordinances--green building, drought tolerant landscaping and low-impact development (LID)--would "be the singularly most progressive environmental action ever taken by the county and will set an impressive precedent for the entire region," writes Mark Gold, president of Heal the Bay, on his blog. But Gold is reserving excitement warning that the Building Industry Association is mobilizing to kill it.

Green is all the rage. And one more way to go green is simple as pie. Cyber-Rain is rapidly expanding as a premiere "smart" sprinkler controller. Based out of the Greater Los Angeles area, Cyber-Rain can help to save thousands of (much needed) gallons of water every year, simply by not using excess water for lawn watering. And it's not as expensive as you might think - many water districts are offering generous rebates for those who purchase such tech-savvy sprinkler controller mechanisms.
