Want to see what real green living looks like?
Join us from 9 a.m. to noon March 28 to see how one Sierra Club member in Leimert Park is doing a good job of living lightly on the planet.
Visitors to the private home will be able to tour the front yard for gardening ideas. The front yard features a native plant garden instead of lawn, a rain barrel to capture precious natural waterfall and an edible ssection with greens planted in a raised bed.
In the backyard, you can check out the 12 solar panels on the roof that create clean eneergy from the sun. And the driveway features permeable pavement that soaks up water instead of concrete.
In addition, you can get a firsthand look at a Leaf all-electric car, a plug-in Prius and a Tesla (no test drives, just viewing).
The event is free but RSVPs are required.
For information and to RSVP, contact Conservation Program Manager Angelica Gonzalez at (213) 387-4287, Ext. 204, or e-mail at angelica.gonzalez@sierraclub.
