Bite Me You Green Bean
Coming next Tuesday, Los Angeles is gonna get bitten by the green bug -- not that it already is eco-minded, except for dumb politicians. Ideal Bite, a daily weekday e-mail that provides one simple green environmentally hip tip to around 170,000 people, has been doing a national version for a couple years. Now, concentrating on Metro areas, Los Angeles gets its own local version (you can sign up here).
And what's there to expect? Organic chocolates, eco-moving companies, green building supplies, hemp dog collars & all-natural pet food, and profiles of local eco-heroes. Greenopia has been doing these kind of listings in a published book, so it looks like for the green resources sector, competition has arrived. And if it's green, that's a good color to get dirty in. So bite me.
