So I returned to Go Green Expo today, and unlike previous days I felt like the usual suspects of hype and no substance infiltrated the doors of decency to peddle green hardwares with little concern for one another. Very few people looked me in the eye. Very few seemed sincere. Maybe they were tired from days one and two at expo or maybe its the Los Angeles, New York, Washington, DC look at how great I am syndrome of Who are you? What can you do for me? Good-bye.
Green attendees arrived in a poof of L.A. soot because 
two out of three cars entering the L. A. Convention Center were trucks and SUVs. It's this sort of thing that contributes to my wanting to move away. How in dear God's name will we ever improve? I recall prestigious job offers I had in the clean air community--if only I'd commute long distances. My plea for teleconferencing/videoconferencing/webinars fell on business-as-usual--and to hell with climate change and air pollution and changing our ways--ears. This from AB32's home state leaders.
We're doomed.
On a brighter note, before I went to the show, I had a lovely beach walk with my best friend. Having friends like Arna makes leaving Los Angeles hard.
I'll stick to writing and speaking out about the health impacts of air pollution, and the benefits of finding and breathing clean air as I continue to review and live a more sustainable life. Sustainable: Sharing time with people capable of focus, sharing, community and compassion.
Here's pretty clouds. The prettiest with sun peering through huge clouds occurred when I was in the car and the light just turned green. Would you have stopped for the photo and let the horns honk? That beautiful moment would've been worth keeping the cars waiting a moment but I moved on. Here's what I got twenty minutes later.
