Carbon Free L.A. Greensters Brilliant New Video of The Big Haul for South Bay/L.A. 350 Climate Action
These people are simply incredible. Watch this video then get on your bike and start pedaling.
I salute the L.A. Greensters and the equally awe inspiring Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition for being the ultimate biking gods of the Southern California universe.
Thanks for being a tremendous role model for the rest of us and thanks for operating our great Bike Valet last Saturday. Because of partners like you, we were the largest climate action ever staged in the history of Southern California.
My Gorgeous Wife Debra Doing The Amazing Waving Human Tide Line Saturday
I’ve been married to Debra Bushweit Galliani since August 2, 1981. There may have been beauty queens and bikini babes galore on the beach with us for our International Day of Climate Action but I only have eyes for this girl starting the wave from the front of the line!
Greenius on KPCC with Patt Morrison Talking About the Pew Poll on Global Warming
I’ve been a proud member-supporter of KPCC FM 89.3 for many years and they are my NPR station of choice here in Los Angeles. I listen to them every single morning and have since 1993. I love Airtalk with Larry Mantle, I love the Patt Morrision show, I love Off Ramp with John Rabe on the weekends, I love Steve Julian with the local news and I love Kitty Felde reporting from Washington DC.
What I didn’t love was how they ignored the largest climate action in the history of Southern California and instead sent a reporter to cover the mindless dancing of Michael Jackson’s Thriller at L.A. Live this weekend instead of covering the real news. That was a decision made the multiple Golden Mike award winning Nick Roman, news director and someone I met while doing weekly commentaries on KLON FM88 in Long Beach during 1983-1985.
Hard to imagine that decision being in the best interest of you, me or anyone else in the listening audience isn’t it? Especially in light of all the coverage given the now dead pop star since his overdose death from drug use.
I had to phone into the Patt Morrison show today to spin the topic of the Pew Poll on Global Warming to focus this story where it needs to be. You can listen for yourself right here. My call comes at the 9:53 mark in the program.

Great Photo by Sean Hiller in Daily Breeze
You all know how much I like to read the Daily Breeze on line. This morning’s Daily Breeze coverage includes this great photo by Breeze staff photographer, Sean Hiller
At precisely 3:50 p.m., the group formed a line as far as the eye could see. The timing was to remind people that their goal was to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, said organizer Joe Galliani.

“Can I just say–Joe’s amazing work is a prime example of what’s going on in every corner of the world. Not everyone is as sophisticated, but in 171 nations and across (currently) 4,400 events people are coming together around a scientific data point. We’re driving the debate, for once, and I wish you could all be in our temporary HQ in NYC just to watch the pictures pour in from every direction. It’s frenetic but joyful–if you’ve ever worried (as I have) that there would never be a popular outpouring around global warming, it’s a sight for sore eyes.”

Torrance Goes All 350 for October 24, Ready to do The Amazing Waving Human Tide Line
It was a historic night in Torrance, California this evening as long-held differences were put aside and the City and your Creative Greenius came together to join forces on behalf of Saturday’s 350.org International Day of Climate Action. That’s me with my new favorite Councilman Cliff Numark just before the Council session started. Doesn’t he look relieved and happy? Don’t I look friendly and reasonable? It’s a new day in Torrance my friends.
It gets even better for those of us working to bring CO2 levels back down to 350 parts per million as you’ll see after the jump with exclusive video you’ll only see here first on Creative Greenius
The Cat Is Still On The Roof – And The Roof! The Roof! The Roof Is On Fire!
I originally wrote and published this piece in June of 2008 under the title “The Cat Is On The Roof – This Joke is at YOUR Expense…”
Today, on this very special Blog Action Day Creative Greenius, I take you back to June of 2008 and ask you: What the hell have YOU been doing for the past 15 months? Worried about your finances and the crash of the economy? That ain’t nothing compared to what’s on tap for you next.
You woke up to a house on fire, and you best stop thinking that smell is coffee.
